If cheaper than $44, is there more than one available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted November 19, 2015 Share from my experience the steel forks are just too stiff/harsh. put a nice plush carbon fork on the front... it will change your life is you are running rigid. Was the red Salsa el mariachi in this thread sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanpmb Posted November 19, 2015 Share from my experience the steel forks are just too stiff/harsh. put a nice plush carbon fork on the front... it will change your life is you are running rigid. Very much depends on what steel is used and how the fork is designed. There is very little plush about my Niner carbon fork, but that's what I like about it - feedback is direct. My Niner Reynolds steel fork on the other hand is really springy and waaay more spongy than my carbon fork. I've ridden other carbon forks that are similar, and that was their intended purpose. Point is, I don't think you can classify a rigid fork on the material used alone... IH8MUD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
