Just imagine you buy that carbon fork in your price range, throw it on your bike and on your first ride you hit a big bump and it shatters. Your mouth goes into your steam then you fly right over the handle bars.

No It's not because I dont ride with some ****ty under 100 dollar carbon fork haha. I don't know why you just wont listen to over half the people in this thread when there telling you all the other things you could do to absorb some of the shock from your rides. Guess you just want to me Mr.COOLHIPSTER.

My hands been hurting for a few days due to heavy riding probably due to the fork not absorbing most of the shock.

that being said, the nashbar option that others have suggested but you're too lazy to look at has a 43mm rake that'll probably be alright replacing your kilo's 44mm fork, also it'll probably be stiffer than your current set up

It will also be cheaper and easier to just put a wider tire on the front wheel to absorb shock than to buy a new fork

Riding drop bars without hoods for hours on the road really sucks

maybe just get a comfortable pair of cycling gloves?
or thicker tape. I'm still using the 23c's that came stock with my bike but I bought a nice pair of gloves and replaced my stem/bars/tape for ~$100 CDN. It's a night and day difference now that I'm properly fit and the tape/gloves absorbs alot of the shock that was causing me wrist/elbow pain. Probably gonna use wider tires as well when the stock ones wear out. |
