Which fork for Airborne Carpe Diem?

Unknown · May 2007

Hi Folks

About to build up my Airborne and looking for recs on a suitable fork for commuting on road/trailway - must have guard eyelets & space for 25s but apart from that, I'm easy! Well, I won't pay stoopid money - longevity/comfort more important than weight.

Fibre or steel? Or even Ti!? Will I get straight forks (I like the looks)?

Did you get planning permission for that sense of humour bypass?

I use a Sintema Muddy (all) carbon on mine

Have a look at the all carbon Planet-X cross too

ITM do the Visia (see wiggle) with an alu steerer for œ90

Then there's Winwood, Kinesis etc. but you'll need to check whether they have eyelets as some may be CX-only forks

Drop bars are a historical accident...... discuss

MAddog, do you use Canti brakes on yours?

Vs

I run a flat bar - don't like drops (see below). Better brakes is an added bonus.
