Anyone know anything about Advance Composites? It looks like they manufacture Wound Up forks, and maybe some other stuff for us roadies. I found a full carbon fork made by AC online for $150, on sale from $350. I'm shopping for such a think to match up with the new threadless headset that's on its way. Anyone know who else they might make OEM stuff for or anything else about the company in general?

is'nt Advanced composites the group who started the Alpha Q lines of forks and now owned by True Temper Sports???

Reynolds also make OEM Forks for Specilized, Schwinn, Litespeed, Merlin to name a few

Advanced Composites is simply a name of a company that makes carbon forks.

Not all their models wuld be the same. I am sure companies like Wound Up would use higher standards.

These forks are usually sold on inexpensive frames with different decals.

check out chucksbikes.com. they have 2 models on sale, one costs $95.00 and the other costs $120.00. i just bought a kestrel ems pro from nashbar for $79.95. don't know if sale is still on. advanced composites also makes look carbon frames and forks.

Yes, Xavier, I know that they are a company that makes carbon forks. I reasoned that when I found one for sale. I also found out that they make a lot of stuff out of carbon and that they provide the tubes to Wound Up, if they don't build the whole fork. I am trying to find out what companies use them as OEM and see if anyone knows anything but the painfully obvious about AC.

mark, the kestrel is what I've got on my bike now. I'm anxious to go to threadless, but want to put a different fork on than I'm running. Thanks for the mention, though. If it's a 1" threadless, I might end up getting it if I don't find anything else under $300 that I have at least heard good things about. I'll check out chucksbikes.com and see what they say. Doubt that it's more than I have found out already, but I'll give it a shot.

go to bestwebbuys.com/bikes/ do a search for fork. i just did it and it listed over 400 forks. i use it all the time . prices are very up to date. hope this helps.
