Now, I used more my bike for "aerobic training" and sport, not for commuting, and I'm beginning to care about weight, I've swap some components, etc...
What nobody has asked yet is how much you're willing to spend on this fork swap? Are you looking at a full carbon fork, or one with an aluminum steerer tube? Do you have the tools to cut the steerer tube and insert the needed star nut (or expander nut)? So, all-in, what do you expect to spend to save this 1 pound?
