Thanks for all the replies..

Now I feel like I should give it a shot or something.. It's only $48 shipped after all.. I can still keep my old fork and try the other fork out.. just for the heck of it.. I don't think it will break very easily, right? After all I heard that Martec is OEM for many brand name companies.. I sure hope they do some kind of QA..

I agree that Superbe pro is smooth.. Do you happen to know how to adjust the friction? The front derailleur on mine always slides down and that makes the chain moves back to the smaller chainring..

thanks..
