We recently purchased a new Custom Co-Motion Robusta and I thought I would try a Tru Temper X2 on it. I ordered the 44mm rake, installed it and went for a 35 mile ride that included a 45 mph mountain descent to see how it handled. It seemed to quicken the steering a little which as far as I'm concerned is a positive thing. By rotating the ecentric to top front I was able to get the center of the crank spindle as high as the rear one. I put the Wound-Up back on the next day and we rode it for 30 miles and I found I like the Tru Temper better but only because of the quicker steering. It comes in handy when riding in a paceline with singles. We are a heavy team 350 pounds, 6'-3" Captain and 6' Stoker so we put a good amount of strain on a fork and I have to admit when I pulled the X2 out of the box I was a little intimidated by how light it is. I didn't notice any additional flex in the True Temper. Both forks are very solid and stable. The tire clearance on the True Temper is a little tight as a matter of fact with the new Rolf wheels I couldn't get a 25 cm Michelin Pro on and dropped to a 23 on the front.
