The replacement for the long-lived Colnago Flash fork. Less elaborately constructed carbon in the legs than the Star or Force, but you'll still get an abundance of shock absorbency. Unlike the heavy steel steerer tube of the Flash, the Street is built with an aluminum steerer.
Strengths: nice looking solid black to carbon weave fade, aluminum steerer tube a little more forgiving than carbon for diy types when it comes to installation. matched the geometry of my frame perfectly.
Weaknesses: only comes in black. we know it's carbon can we have a little color please!
Bottom Line:
I purchased the fork to give a little new life to my 10 year old steel race bike. I've been doing pro 1/2 races in the mid atlantic for about 17 years now and believe it or not this was the first threadless fork let alone carbon bike bit i've ever owned aside from a pair of zipp 440s. i was amazed at the difference in comfort. i installed it on one november morning while well on my way to winter obesity and had just the most stellar ride in years. it improved comfort dramatically but didn't deaden road feel to a point where you couldn't sense what was going on beneath you. made a really great bike even better. i thought i was nearing the age where i would have to give up racing but after riding this fork and switching to a carbon seatpost i think i have 4 or five more years left in me.
I was building up a Colnago Active with Street carbon fork I bought from mike at maestrobike and have a problem with the fork.The problem is that fork brake mounting hole is tilted Read More »
