Odyssey Race forks, Supercross Race forks, carbon forks (lots of $$$)

wethepeople 02-19-07 03:15 PM

If I was racing, I doubt I would use a carbon fork.

They are superlight but not as strong and wayyy too much money

wethepeople 02-19-07 03:54 PM

Hell, the fixie frame i'm building is going to have some carbon on it but I don't even know if I want a carbon fork on that...

riding fixed=wannabe hipster

but that's just my opinion

wethepeople 02-19-07 07:15 PM

Or you know, I continue to dress the way I do which is not scene or any other of that hipster stuff and I ride it because it's fun, quick and efficient.

mude 02-19-07 08:16 PM

wow. people that ride road bikes are pretty....cool?

I like the look of some bombshell forks

Odyssey, S&M and Sunday all have light forks that you can race with.

I wouldn't use carbon stuff it flexes and scares me.

Why did you post yourself, Mr. Rocker, as it seems you know nothing about the subject either.

mude 02-21-07 10:33 PM

FitRider 921 02-22-07 09:41 AM
