Thinking these would be just the job on a Whippet. Anyone got experience of them? Are they as tough as, say, Exotics and what's the tyre clearance like? Also, I think they have a carbon steerer so what's the best way star nut alternative?
Think Terry had/has some. Sure he'll be along in a bit...
yeah,I've had some,nice quality,tyre clearance was tight,stiff and light,came with a bung for topcap bolt,but I recon you'd be ok with a Hope head doctor.
There are some horror stories of poor QC with those forks - sudden steerer tube failure for example... Give it a google.

Mine developed a bluge/ridge in the gap of the stem clamp, and I was using a bung.
I sent them back and had a horror story, I eventually, after 4 months and threatening to flame him here, got a replacement set that I promptly sold, at a loss, of course.
They were light as ****, but rode very stiff, too much for me.
Hmmm thanks for that. Think I'll stick with the trusty Exotics
mine rode fine for just over a year now
they took a fair fair beating at 10 under the ben and have finished very high up in local enduro/dh races
they are being retired to the shed now because they make noises i do not like (and ive seen the photos that Gee is referring to)
they rode much better than my pace rc31s which couldnt turn a corner if their life depended on it, They had oodles of tire clearance for 29 x 2.2 and were the right length for my ragley.
think im going to replace them with some steel forks
