1 1/8 straight canti carbon fork options
Moderator: Moderator Team
I'm still racing on my steel is real Charge Filter mid from 2013, I love it too much to replace but won't be looking at a new cx bike for probably a couple of years yet.
One of the places it could desperately lose weight is the fork, which is full steel at the moment.
I've not had much luck tracking down a compatible fork for it without breaking the bank. Are there any decent options out there?
The Whisky no.7 canti looks perfect- it's even got a hole drilled that I can mount my fork canti hanger on- but it's pretty pricey and I can only find it in the UK for around £360.
Otherwise a pretty ordinary set-up, slammed at a giant 23cm steerer length.

Cheap, not sure what shipping to the UK would cost: https://www.bikenashbar.com/cycling/nas ... ork-ns-cyf
Ritchey makes some decent canti forks but again UK availability seems non-existent, and they are ~2x the price of the Nashbar.

I have an old kinesis one on my commuter. The have massive clearance, alloy dropouts and weigh about 400g if I remember correctly. They are quite flexy though. Rode them very tentatively at first. The Ritchey ones sometimes pop up on eBay. But its a slow hunt. Good luck!
