columbus grammy fork
Moderator: robbosmans
does anyone have experience with this fork?
i am seeking a replacement, or rather upgrade for my chinese 066SL and this seems to fit the bill, quite light as well as affordable.
the one thing i am most curious about is the tire clearance. i run 28mm tires exclusively so it needs to clear that with at least a bit of room.

Any reason you want to upgrade the 066sl fork? I'm thinking of getting that frame as my next project.

I'm using a Columbus Grammy on my fm066sl. Weightwise not much of an improvement (around 30 grams) yet a lot more comfortable than the Hongfu fork.

thanks again grill!
syncmaster, the frame and fork are fine, quite great actually. but id just like to get something a bit nicer on there.
and as chalkie mentions the positive difference in ride quality is something i seek as well. i ride on a lot of poor quality tarmac as well as graded dirt/gravel roads and the hong fu fork is actually really quite stiff and unforgiving on these surfaces. i assume due to the straight fork blades. which i why I'm interested in the grammy and its curved shape
