Very good
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Good Fit
"I have done over 1000 miles on these forks now and they are fine and dandy. They replaced a set of forks that were ruined by a woman and her car. The old forks had less tyre clearance and so these forks hoist the front end of the bike slightly higher, which is fine; and seems to make the steering more stable which is desirable for my relaxed touring aspirations. A one inch 'ahead' steering tube on a steel fork with cantilever brake bosses seems to be a rarity and at the asking price, if my memory serves, of a penny under £70, is a good buy, considering the price of such a fork made by a frame builder would, I imagine, cost a lot more. Not a scratch or blemish, so far, to be seen on the black, shiny paint work.
Thank you Wiggle. No complaints."

proper forks
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, Lightweight, canti bosses
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"turned my go- anywhere hybrid into a thoroughbred
no weight- limited carbon fibre but robust steel and surprisingly light with a full length steerer and available in 1 inch
no pointless suspension but miles better over bumps than my previous straight forks
i am happier in rough stuff with steel than carbon
good job surly lads!"

superb cross forks
"i have recently changed over to these forks from an aluminium pair as i wanted a more forgiving ride charachteristic,the roads round where i live being a bit agricultural.The difference is simply staggering,much more comfortable and better tracking, i think due to the longer fork rake and being available in an one inch steerer size means my old Sun cycloss frame has a new lease of life.I wish i had discovered these whilst i was still racing as having used carbon cross forks i think these are better,.I would like to try a Surly steel cyclo cross bike if the forks are as good as these."

Convert that hardtail
Pros: Attractive, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"Nicely made, budget steel forks - great for turning an alloy hardtail MTB into a cyclocross bike. Excellent paint job, not as heavy as I expected."
