thanks for the clarification, boston. ive got a bad habit of skimming through technical stuff
just got back from the LBS, checking around for cheap forks, no luck. still debating the bikeworks fork--its cheap at $57.00+shipping but only if you have a headset to match. another member bought this fork and said that the crown race is 27mm, not 26.4 and he had to go out and buy another headset. a new headset brings the total cost for using this fork closer to $100.00.
