They sell out very fast since most serious riders are moving from carbon fiber to titanium now. Then get a CroMo disc fork. Serious riders are switching from carbon to titanium? Didn't know that. But then I don't claim to be a genius in every topic on earth. Just a couple of them for me. Chromoly disc fork to replace a carbon disc fork? Why? Because CF disc forks explode, leading to huge loss of life -- second only to heart disease as a cause of death in the United States. Where have you been? Mars? Really, though, I don't know where all these "serious riders" are. I've seen zero Ti disc bikes with CroMo forks. True, most riders use the CF fork that comes with the Ti bicycle. The suggestion to switch to a CroMo fork was to prevent injury should the CF fork fail, as they are prone to do. Why in the world don't titanium bicycles come with titanium forks? I've got an aluminum bicycle with aluminum forks; I've got steel bicycles with steel forks... Is there something wrong with this wonder metal? -- Cheers, John B. |
