ted- I have a Specialized Allez alluminum frame and am thinking about getting
a
carbon fiber fork for it. I have seen forks with cro-moly steering tubes,
alluminum steering tubes, and carbon fiber steering tubes. Are there any
differences as to strengh and durability? BRBR

Not in the practical sense, they just weigh less than one another. BUT there is
a maximum number of spacers you can put under the stem on a carbon steerer. For
1 inch it is generally about 1 inch(2.54cm). With the other two, steel and
aluminum, no maximum. You need just about any threadless 1 inch HS.
