I've been considering doing the all-Nashbar upgrade myself... but am trying to convince someone else to be my guinea pig first No but seriously, I have heard the Nashbar fork is quite solid and good (asked about it in the Road Biking forum a few days ago), although it is a bit heavier than the all carbon forks (about 550 g vs. 350-400 g).
