I wonder how long a carbon fork would last outside of snow riding conditions… rage it- break it or break yourself trying.
Sven and I decided that this would be a good fork for Puck to test on his new Tatanka, so stand by for torture test results, ala choy!
No reason it shouldn’t do just fine.
I was thinking about running a larger tire in front on my pugs and that fork would fit the ticket. Little more float in front for that powder.
I order the fork last week! For my Mukluk2, will drop about 400 grams off the front.
Forks look very “Niner” esque. Same kind of construction anyway. Very mean lookin’!
You sometimes see that in carbon design because it’s what works.
Came home from work tonight, and got the fork via Brown Santa! Looks amazing (I also have the niner carbon fork on my singlespeed). Carver has a really nice insert system for the disc brake bolts, that I think trumps the niner. Two stainless “barrel” inserts that can easily be replaced. Sooo light and sexy/mean as Tommy said. Will be rocking her this weekend. Looks like I going to need the Carver ti frame to match it!!! Worrrrd
Next month? I’ll be testing her Sunday! Soo sweet looking, mounted her up today!
This was written in January…so next month was 2 days ago.
Apologizes, I was just soooo excited that it actual came and I got it installed. (I waited 10 months for the Mukluk2 to come in, and months for my white Niner fork, so it seemed like I always got excited for something and had to wait,wait,wait)
Did 3 hours of northeast technical trail ridding on the fork today. Typical roots, rocks and tight, sweet, sweet singletrack. Night and day difference over the steel salsa fork. Soaked up a lot of chatter, and took everything I could throw at her. I could also lift the front much easier over rocks, logs and techy bits. Also wheeling across stream crossing much easier. SWEET!
I want a Carver Ti frame and fork! They just look sweet and an awesome value as well!
