Thanks bulgie... Few months ago I took a wrong turn on one of my local Ravel rides. I had to go down a steep torn up ravel road that had been destroyed by Motocross and heavy duty E-bikes. My front fork on my Peugeot P6 held up quite well. It all makes me think. A light weight fork is of course to be admired, but really, there are other areas I would to lighten.

For road bikes I think we need to take lessons from the Track Bike builders. They have probably shaved the weight down on forks to the barest minimum...
