seeker333 I read more through the thread where there was criticism of the fork, and much of the thread is basically
'aluminum?!!?!!?? How dare they! This is no better than a BSO from Walmart!!!'

'I guess they aren't interested in people doing real bike tours! This is obviously just to cash in on the gravel bike craze!''
