    cabon forks

    How much of ride quality diff does a carbon fork make on an alum frame bike?

    I'm in the market for lesser priced back-up bike to my carbon roadie.

    My first road bike was an alum frame, with a carbon fork and post. Even with the carbon adds, it was very rough to ride.

    The back-up bike I'm considering the alum again only to keep the cost down. The lbs owner told me I should at least upgrade from the base model that is all alum, to the version with a carbon fork.

    I guess I already had that once though, and it was still rough. So how much a diff will there be to gain the cost savings?

    Ops/exp?
