NEW QR/Kinesis aero fork installed



Such a killer fork! This thing is super aerodynamic.

the legs measure 16mm wide and 55mm deep. The stock Torelli fork was 21mm wide and 27mm deep.

So not only is it 4 mm narrower on each side, its over twice as deep. Aslo, the legs are shaped in a tear drop shape like airplane wings.

I had to buy a new headset for $25 with a lower stack height to make the new fork fit. But thats not a major problem. So, $41 spent and about 20 seconds gained over a 10 mile TT. $2 for every second is a pretty good trade.
