yeah...i actually had never heard of that until yesterday when i read it in the new performance catalog. they were talking about the forte forks....i have my doubts about the statement as well...if both forks are carbon, they should be equally stiff. but i be there's a difference between curved and straight steel forks...then again it depends on the thickness of the tubing and stuff like that...so, yeah...i'm voting that there will be no difference as long as the rakes are the same.
