scrod,
im trying to decide what fork to get for the 722 im gonna be getting soon.

i was thinking of the s805, because id try and make this bike much more of a weight weenie compared to my mammoth 24 pound scrambler i have now.

im curious as to how strong this/other carbon forks can be..
i ride in some hilly terrain that have some really craptastic bike paths with potholes and bumps galore, can i expect a good strength-weight ratio from a carbon fork if im hitting a lot of unavoidable bumps and holes?

the roads im stuck with dont have a lot of room to avoid potholes while simultaneously minding the little tweens in bmws whizzing by just a couple feet away
