I'd like to shave some weight off my Wife's [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/lapierre/audacio-300-2010-road-bike-ec020997 ]Lapierre road bike[/url] - it's got a carbon / alloy fork which I'm guessing must be about 6-700g.

Would something like [url= http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Toray-T700-carbon-road-fork-racing-bike-ftont-fork-MO020/409931_596209700.html ]this [/url]be a simple replacement?

It seems an inexpensive way to save 300g. Similar UK retail examples are £150+

Chinese carbon tends to be a bit noodly

I'd weigh that first and find out for sure, otherwise you may be disappointed.
