Strengths: lighter than aluminum or steel forks, high easton quality and dependabilityWeaknesses: heavier than most carbon forksBottom Line: nashbar had a deal i couldn't pass up on this fork, so i replaced my straight-bladed aluminum threaded fork with the ec30. installation was a breeze. i can definitely tell a difference in ride quality due to the carbon and 43mm forward offset. this isn't the lightest carbon fork, but it fit my budget and needs. if weight is not your overall concern, the ec30 would be an excellent choice. i did notice some wobble in the front after i first installed the fork but could find nothing wrong. after the first few weeks it seemed to go away - i haven't felt it since. once i built my confidence back up after the change (we all know that feeling), i can climb, corner and ride as hard as i could before.
Favorite Ride: my east-west loop
Price Paid:

Strengths: Comfort, Price, Looks, Manufacturing Quality (What can I say, I'm an Easton fan!)Weaknesses: Seems to be a little flex during heavy (HEAVY) braking. Oscillates during rides on cobblestone sections (yes we do have them here in the Flanders.Bottom Line: This is my second carbon fork, since I've sold my Kestrel 200EMS years and years ago. I find this fork fairly comfortable, but it tends to oscillate at cobblestone roads. The fork cannot eat up all vibrations. Also I notice some movement during heavy breaking. But I'm really please with price/performance of this fork, and you can't go wrong with Easton quality. In the end I'm VERY pleased with the allround performance.

Strengths: Light, stiff, cuts air like a knife (the blades are slim and way cool!).Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: Incredibly light, stiff fork that's also great at absorbing surface-induced vibration. Mine comes with 1" carbon steerer which makes it an amazing buy at $110. Fork, uncut, weighed about 350g.
