Hello all, I ride a caad9 and was looking to upgrade the ultra stock fork with losing some weight being the main goal of the upgrade...I've heard that the cannondale slice carbon fork is a good choice from both a weight and identical rake perspective... There would be no compatibility issues with a caad9 frame and a Slice fork right?

look into alphaQ forks not sure if they are still on ebay for $100 bucks but I LOVE mine.

its lighter, much stiffer for my 200lb self.

Either Alpha or Easton fork will do.

I looked in to the easton ec90slx fork but am leaning towards the cannondale one...there would be no fit problems correct?

 

[Nimitz]

no fit problems, but how much is the cannondale fork?

I found a slice for 50 and a premium for 150...either of those good deals in good condition?

Make sure there is no crack unless you know the history otherwise it's a risky buy.

Your always taking a risk when you buy used carbon. You have no idea what the previous owner put it through.

Go to a bike shop that deals with Cannondale. My lbs offered me a new uncut Premium for 150.

see I'd rather take a new alphaQ fork for $100 over a premium cannondale...

What model CAAD9 do you have, a 6? Yours has the Slice Ultra? I have a 5 and it came with a Slice premium full carbon so I wouldn't think there would be any compatibility problems.
