I know this isn't exactly a weight weenie subject, but anyway:
Has anyone tried the hopey steering damper? Is it possible to use it with a sid wc carbon fibre fork?

Hey.....yes I have one and they are awsome!
However, you cannot use one with the SID Carbon fork. The SID carbon has a solid end plug at the bottom of the steer tube that cannot be removed (If I remember correctly). In order to install the damper you have to be able to put it in through the top of the steer tube and then tighten down a nut from the bottom of the steer tube. So the solid end prevents you from doing this.
If you want more info, let me know.
