..Also, you will be sacrificing a lot of stiffness going with the 1.0 vice the 2.0, if you were a 140lbs climber I would recommend that fork for you, but you are not. You're giving up comfort and stiffness for a few extra grams.
Having been in that same situation with the EC90SLX once on a Caad9 frame (and I weigh 165) I HATED it...it was flexy and vague in corners and didn't insire any confidence in corners or on descents.
Actually, I was intent on getting the 2.0 initially, but thought I'd try the 1.0 first.
At this price, I could afford to experiment and I've read how several riders in my weight range found it to be stiff
enough for them and a few who've tried both said that they couldn't tell a difference other than price and grams.
Worst case scenario, I mount it, try it and sell it at my cost or possibly even flip it. I can even straight-trade it for a new 2.0.
I'll try it out and see if I have the same experience that other riders in my weight range had with it (who love it).
