Forks Galore

I currently have two demo forks installed on bikes in the garage.

Installed the Ventana rigid "El Tenedor" on the Comandante at Ed's insistence. More nicely built, and 150 gms lighter than the Zion fork, but otherwise, not a lot different. I'm vain enough to want a matching fork in the future, however. We'll see about ride quality. Doubt it will be much different, but who knows.

Also in the mail today, my demo White Bros Fluid 130 coil fork. This is the "new and improved" 130. I hope so, because the prior air 130 I had sucked pretty bad. I installed it tonight, and early impressions are good. Light, stiff (like the air), and very plush (unlike the air). Nice to have the Curtlo back, but it feels like I have flat tires after all the rigid riding lately. I really missed the extra travel and stiffness of the WB compared to the Reba.

If this fork works out, I will see little need to keep the little wheeled Brujamontes.

I'm torn over what to ride tomorrow, but think I will go with the squish bike over the "standard" test loop.
