Cx Carbon Forks

[oxlabs]

Any problems with carbon cx forks breaking?

This is a good question and one which concerned me when I started riding cross. I can only vouch for the integrity of the Kinesis EVO forks after I stacked avoiding a rider falling in front of me at probably 15mph with the front end taking the impact of the crash. The upshot was that my frame failed catastrophically at the thinnest **** on the d/t and no structural damage to my fork (which was sent back under warranty and tested for integrity. I have the certification). A quick straw poll of my 'cross buddies gave the following recommendations: Kinesis EVO's, Ridley Pythons. Lots of recommendations on the steel front for IF too.

Thanks. i'm looking at the Ritchey WSC Carbon fork. Everyone is saying that the carbon forks are reliable on cx bikes.

The Ritchey is a good fork as well. The Easton is good but I have found it nearly impossible to get the shudder out of it.

I tend to stick to an alloy steerer tube, at my level of racing cross the crashes can be quite hard so I like the strength of the alloy.

Heya - i've found that a lower-mounting cable hanger does wonders for brake jitter, check out the photo for what i've found:

I've had zero jitter with this on two bikes (one had bad jittering prior), and know of several others who have had a lot of success with this setup.

I have Easton CX on my bike and do not have any problems. Need to be toed in properly to eliminate shudder

I have the Reynolds CX carbon fork, and have had no issues with it.
Much lighter than the Kinesis aluminum fork that was previously on there too.

I did have some shudder until my brake pads/rim braking surface broke in.

I have an Origin 8 w/ Carbon Steerer Tube ... no problem.

No problem for me and I'm not light - been riding carbon forks for four seasons now - different brands - including an utter hammering for them in the Three Peaks Cyclocross but never had cause for complaint with a pair. I think road forks are under more stress because of the tyre pressures.
