Buying a new road fork - dedaccia black fin

[Weight Weenie]

Hi all

 

Searched but found zip.

 

I have a 2011 Felt F85 road bike and was toying with the idea of slapping one of these forks on it.

 

Now i'm wondering how do I make sure it will fit ITO fork rake etc ?

 

Also will a full carbon fork make any difference ITO comfort ? I guess tyre pressure will be of more help ?

 

Thanks

WW.

F80 has a 45mm rake.

ok pretty close then thanks gummi.

 

It's not a tapered tapered so that's fine.

Uses normal QR's.

Steerer is long enough to adjust/cut.

 

What else do I need to look at ?

Steerer must be 1 1/8 and that it's long enough to fit your head tube.

...and you know that you must use a special carbon expander and not that star thinging that you hit into the steerer.

Fanks. Steeres is long enough and is 1 1/8th.

Good point on the star fangled nut forgot about that.
