Mark W Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I don't remember there being a rider weight limit, I think the only stipulation was that with the first generation forks they had a minimum stack height for the frame and headset combined so it didn't line up with the end of the steerer insert.

cwtrials Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I used one for a while, but I don't do a ton of hooks or front wheel stuff. Only used it for like 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 They're going to be way stronger than alu forks anyway so you shouldn't be worried. I'm fairly light and don't ride as much nowadays but the Carbons have so far lasted over 4 years while alu forks used to snap in half twice a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
