  • Ordered one of these alloy steerer carbon forks from Merlin and they sent me the full carbon one, spoke to them and they confirmed they’ve run out of the alloy steerer ones so sending out full carbon. Listing’s still up so if you’re quick you grab an upgraded fork at the bargain price of £49.99

    Incidentally I am still after an alloy steerer fork if anyone has a similar one!

  • Why would someone want aluminium over carbon steerer? (or the other way around)
    Real innocent question, don't know the pros and cons of each or which setup make you choose one over the other.

  • Most people wouldn’t, but my partner decided they’d rather not worry about over tightening a stem on a carbon steerer (after we found some marks on her current fork when we bought her a second hand bike)
