  I’ve got this Hylix fork. I remember reading here a while back that some headsets leave a pretty noticeable gap. Has anyone used one / can recommend one that lines up nicely?

  With the sad news about potential forum closure, now seems about the right time to write this and spread some positivity. I’m pretty sure I’m better. It’s taken about two years and cost an awful lot financially and emotionally. Still a lot of fitness to get back, but doesn’t seem to be any real lingering effects. There’s so much stuff out there, but time, calming the CNS and LDN helped me the most. Good luck to anyone else out there still going through it. It’s brutal in a way that no one else can understand, but you will get better. Lots of people are, they just tend not to post about it. Peace.

  Hypothetically (disregarding practicality!), could a full mechanical build be fully internally routed? Or is it routing through the handlebar/headset interface too tight?

  Any thoughts on PX’s offering? Comes with a lifetime frame warranty

  I’ve got a pretty much brand new S with ti front and rear if interested? Probably easier than changing the stem fork and rear.

• Carbon forks

  in Current Projects • 3 months

  

  I’ve built a frame, and had originally planned to use a hylix carbon fork. I’m now second guessing it, and looking to spend a bit more for peace of mind. It’s a flat mount disc fork, 380mm axle to crown, 44m rake with clearance for 32mm tyres.

  Any recommendations on fork manufacturers which will be good quality? Not necessarily fussed about having Columbus or Whiskey branding etc / or super weight weenie! Just something solid. Cheers
