Superstar Carbon Fork??

Post by AdMan »

Anyone had any experience of it? With the 25% off deal at the moment seems like a steal, works out cheaper and lighter than the on one monocoque fork.

I can't see why it wouldn't be fine, it's easy to imagine that both are made in the same factory :wink:

Only practical difference is the Post vs IS tab mounting if that matters. I also think the OO fork can be had a straight steerer if that matters.

450mm long and 38mm offset is odd for a 29er fork, more like trad 26" fork for 100mm sus corrected geo, or a non sus corrected 29er.

So the on one would be better, 470mm long, 45mm offset?

If it's for your Ramin One, yes. The Ramin fork is 475 long with 51mm offset. It might feel a tiny bit more stable with the on-one fork.
