30mm tires, not 30c. The 'C' goes with 700 and we take that for granted w/ road bikes. If someone has another size wheel they will describe it. The full, correct description is 700c x 30mm. Very few tire manufacturers seem to have a clue about this.

Carbon forks aren't put on bikes for their vibration
damping (not dampening) characteristics, they're used because they're light and stiff. Multi layered? Not after it's cured, it might as well be one piece.
