at Ebay, Second hand Favorite Ride: Mt Nebo Mt Gloria's Bike Setup: Specialized Roubaix pro frame, Ultegra SL, Dura ace 7850sl wheels, Carbon bars ,stem, & seatpost. GP4000s tyres Summary: Got these forks second hand off ebay. Obviously hadnt had much use & had not been installed correctly as in pristine condition & no alu insert glued in the steerer tube. Tryed ording the correct insert & after waiting 3 weeks, made my own & installed the star nut & glued it in. These forks have transformed an allready nice ride into something very special. They are stiffer & yet more compliant. How does that happen ? You can notice the lack of weight in the front end & the bike really comes alive.
Money well spent. RRp $599 AUS. Probably would not pay this much if new. Strengths: Very light, Ride quality & stiffness.
Weaknesses: Proper instalation of steerer reinforcement is vital & may confuse those less mechanicl.
