Bontrager Race Lite Road Fork - 1999/01/21 04:32 I asked questions about this fork before the season. It did ok, but has developed some very slight surface cranks on the dropouts. When I clean it up, it doesn't look as if they go into the aluminum at all (superficial only), but that just doensn't make much sense to me.
Regardless, it has me worried enough to get a new for for next season.

Which brings me to my follow-on question: Any word on the new
XXX-Lite Bontrager fork on their site? From what I can tell, it's the
Klein fork? It's black with red, so it will look like hell with my frame, but it's light without the hassle of the carbon steerer. Other options would be to go Ouzo, EC90, etc..

re:Bontrager Race Lite Road Fork - 1999/01/21 12:25 Which version of Alpha Q? I went to True Temper's website, and couldn't find anything like what I described (although there are a number of different Alpha Q forks, so it could be I missed it).

re:Bontrager Race Lite Road Fork - 1999/01/21 14:43 Thanks Mike - good to have the insiders here. Did they mention color options? I've got a 5500 frame now (USPS Blue fork) and the black may look a little rough. I'm a bitch for the aesthetic of my ride, so - any chance it will come in Silver or a matching blue?

re:Bontrager Race Lite Road Fork - 1999/01/21 22:33 This sounds suspisciously like True Temper's Alpa Q. (and I don't think
Trek "came up with" it.). Any connection?
