Weight difference between steel and carbon forks
Hi!
I've a bike with a steel fork (2016 Trek FX 7.1), and to lower weight I'm thinking of replacing the steel fork with a carbon one (the carbon fork of the Trek FX 7.4, with is 100% compatible).
The problem is that I can't find online the weight of my steel fork, and neither the weight of the carbon fork of the Trek FX 7.4
I have asked trek customer service, but they have not been able to tell me that info.
So the question is:
Let's suppose that the steel fork was of excellent quality, and of low weight to be made of steel, and that the carbon one was not so good and of high weight to be made of carbon (to put us at worst!), do you think that there would still be a noticeable weight difference, that would make the replacement worthwhile?
What do you think? Would be a "low quality" carbon fork, still be way lighter than a "high quality" steel fork?
