What type of forks are these?
 
Hello all

Just a question I was hoping somebody could help with. I want to know if these forks are round, oval or aero. They look to me like they would be either aero or oval but I don't actually know what the difference is.

Thanks for your help!

That's a carbon fork, don't put a clamp-on brake on it. it's probably drilled for a brake anyways.
(I'm just assuming you wanted to know so you could put a keirin brake on it)

ask the seller.

It's not drilled for a brake and the seller doesn't know what type of shape they are either.

Would the clamp-on be too much pressure for the carbon fork?

Yes it would be!
