seems like the storcks are the stiffer forks, i dont know if that makes them the better fork or not, but the stiletto light (280g) is just as stiff as a reynolds ouzo pro.

2003 K27 weighs 416g uncut.




Actually 361g uncut.

I tried to update the poll. After I put in all the forks and i tried to submit, it said there were to many poll options. The option list is limited by ten. Thats why only the storck is added.

sorry guys!

On Facebook!

The light is actually 361g uncut? how heavy is the regular stiletto?

That weight actually includes the expander which is threaded in so the weight is a little missleading, but still not the 300g claimed.

Perhaps one could update the WW LISTINGS?
That's where the origibal numbers came from.

Thanks for tryin' Frankie, ten seems like a good number anyway....

I guess the light is not that light after all

Do you happen to know which forks on the list use glue-in expanders and which do not?

The only forks I know use it are the Alpha-Q forks. The only reason I think it's stupid is because of the limited possibilities for cutting the steerer down after you glue it in place. It does add to the stiffness of the column, and gives a lot of support to the stem clamping area.

I was researching new forks on this thread and saw the comment about the glue in alpha q expander limiting later alterations. I needed to cut mine down and discovered (at least on the AME era models) the star nut in the glued insert can be moved down further so there is enough leeway to take off at least 2-3 cm of height if you need to. I wouldn't advise it if you would be using very many spacers since the insert might wind up with the lower edge above the headset and defeat the whole purpose of it in a crash or other failure. And if would of course void any warranty.

I have a Look HSC4 and it has been great. Stiff and it has taken a beating including a hard crash and a drive through ATM!

Nice view of a Cannondale fork in two pieces held together by a few strands of carbon at the end of todays Giro stage. Phil was saying it was "bent"! You couldn't see the front wheel anywhere nearby.
