Kinesis All Carbon Saber road fork any good?
I recently purchased a Performance Forte Axis Pro all-carbon road fork along
with a Cane Creek S-2 HS & Forte Pro road stem for a pretty decent bundle price, $190. Some online research indicates that this is a rebranded Kinesis All Carbon Saber road fork. I bought it to upgrade an old steel Trek so it didn't have to be a "name" fork such as Reynolds or Time, but that turned out got to be more complex than expected so I decided to build up a new bike instead. It'll be Campy Centaur 10spd equipped on a Habanero Ti road frame, and I'm wondering if this is a good enough fork for it. Does anyone have any experience with or knowledge of this fork, and how well it ranks against other all-carbon forks? It seems pretty well-made and is certainly very light, but I have no experience with carbon forks so I'm not sure how good it is. Incidentally, I'm a recreational rider looking to do mostly 30-70 mile weekend rides, more often during the warmer months (more a matter of daylight than temperature), and occasional light touring. No racing, so this doesn't have to be a super stiff or whatever one wants in a racing fork. -- Kovie zen |
