What Type of Fork?
I want to replace my stock carbon fork with something with a little more performance, yet not spending a fortune...what kind of all carbon forks are recommended for an overall tight but comfortable ride? Ive been looking at Profile AC, Look forks, and Reynolds...what does everyone think?
Thanks
Jeremy

I ride on poor rough roads around Lake Tahoe CA and have use the Reynolds forks. On my first bike (steel) I had the "Comp" model, on my current bike (ti) I have the "Pro" model. I have to say that I don't really notice that much of a difference in the ride. Both give a pretty soft ride.

I asked this very question a few months ago and the concensus was that either Alpha Q or Reynolds Ouzo range were the forks of choice. I have the Ouzo Pro Integraetd on my Litespeed and I think it's great. Tracks neutrally around corners and plenty stiff for sprints.
