Talbot Four Seasons

$425 seems a mad bargain for that frame

It is @t-v !

Tbh @TM I will likely keep the wound up unless I can get a deal on something else. I don’t love the Whisky, but maybe that’s because of the integrated head tube.

Having now used 105 a little more, I’m just incredibly impressed. The lack of modulation compared to discs is a little weird, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it in no time.

Unless there is a big performance benefit, keep the wound-up fork. It looks good to me.

Yeah, only reason I’d replace is for a bigger tyre but then, I can use the Talbot for bigger tyres...

Getting dangerously close JB

I queried the lifespan of a Wound Up with Wound Up and got the following answer:

Thanks for the inquiry. Wound Up forks withstand fatigue heroically, and should last much longer than steel, aluminum or titanium forks. Because of their unique filament-wound construction, they should also outlast other carbon forks. While exact lifespans are specific to a given rider and her or his riding habits, we usually see our forks lasting for more than a decade with fairly heavy use. However, we recommend that your fork be replaced after ten years and being that it is used, this would be highly recommended. We do offer a courtesy replacement program for a new fork if interested. The price ranges from 30-40% off retail.

Am heavily considering this as I have slight fear in the back of my head of fork failure which is quite scary. I also enjoyed their use of heroically.

Great they offer a discount. This didn't make much sense though:

should last much longer than steel forks... However, we recommend that your fork be replaced after ten years

Not aware of many steel forks that need replacing after 10 years.

yeh thats bollocks.

I thought the same. Not sure where he got that from - not sure he meant to mention steel!

The one big plus of a more modern Wound Up is they clear 28c. Something that I think I'd like....

Not sure where he got that from

from their lawyers, of course.

Do Seven make forks to match?

Ti forks are deathly

Is it 1 1/8? I would consider the Ritchey WCS road fork

I'd just ride the woundup :)

I’d just get a new sexy woundup at a discount

Goodbye my friend. Enjoy @amey :-)
