Cyclocross - Carbon Fork and comfort

I am looking at upgrading my fork I currently have soma double cross with the house fork. I really curious about the comfort aspect not weight or stiffness. My soma plays many roles it is my main bike, road/off road/cross racing for fun could care less wether I win or not. The only reason I am throwing out there is the comfort aspect. If you guys who went from steel forks to carbon could chime in on there was a noticeable change. Thanks in advance.

My first bike (1999) had a steel?/alloy? fork. I felt every bump. Sold that bike in 2005.
All my current bikes (2 CX, 1 road) have carbon forks. The CX bikes are used for commuting and off-road riding.
The carbon forks offer a much more comfortable ride. :thumb:

My Soma Double Cross with a Ridley/Zornyc carbon fiber CX fork is super smooth. I have a steel fork on my steel framed Paramount and the carbon fork is clearly better. I can ride without gloves for 40 miles with no problem!

I do not have brake shutter issues either.

The flexibility of carbon forks is much the same as steel, so bumps in the road feel much the same. The plastic in which the carbon fibres are embedded, have excellent vibration damping, so vibration caused by road surface texture doesnt get to your hands.

I have a steel fork on my Raleigh. I have not ridden that particular bike with a carbon fork, but having a carbon fork on my road bike, I know how at least that model (Look HSC3) rides. Hence, I am never going to change the steel fork for a carbon one.

Your tyres will do more to change ride comfort than your fork. Try running 25s or 28s. Or run tyres with supple sidewalls such as Challenge or Vittoria open tubulars.

thanks for the replies, hmm decisions
