Re:
Hi,
ja i thought the same and that was why i was looking for s pepperoni fork. Or seomething else in 1" (i think there is not much of a variety)
But when i rode the bike i was thinking that a steel fork would be much better because the bike is pretty stiff, and when you add a fork with bigger tubes its usually a aluminum fork. And that combined with the stem and frame i guess it will make you loose your teeth on a trail.
It rides very well this way. I think its a good decision to keep the fork.
All the best
