Saadat, how heavy is your beard?

Do you think when in an aero position the extra weight over the front wheel means your forks are under more stress? do you run higher PSI in the front tyre?

Please expand.

Beard is heavy as fuck but I run alloy forks so it's OK. Very un-aero. Mega drag all the time.

nh, your post is pointless.

You're arguing over full carbon versus alloy steerer.

Mechamorgan said he's not bothered because he's really light, I was showing an example of when a really light person's full carbon forks snapped.

Owenreed can break a bike by looking at it. Didn't he ride that bike in to a wall before that?

Fair point, no wall interaction, but that bike was absued.

I have ridden fucking miles cross country/on towpaths/down steps on the mega sketchy carbon steerer'd forks you sold me, and they're still holding up. I do think about them every time I travel quicker than 25mph though...

To be fair, the leg has a nick, which I wouldn't be worried about either. The steerer is the silent killer.
