Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

time trial fork

what exactly makes a fork a time trial fork?
how does it differ from a standard road fork and will it fit onto a standard road bike?

many TT forks are 1" as opposed to most road forks being 1 1/8"

it weights a few grams more? if thats the only limitation then thats no big deal for me. 450g vs ?
