Pace RC31 forks...worth it?

[stevetait]

So these RC 31's that Pace are offering out, built from odds n ends at the factory... are they worth the £170??

No

( is that the right answer? )

I backed out the deal with pace for the Ti edition

I really cant see them being worth £210 :?
I'd rather spend that elsewhere

 

[Enid_Puceflange]

Theres a pair in the classifieds for £80!!

[dyna-ti]

Exactly

This whole Pace RC31 thing is becoming a bit of a joke..they seem to be going for silly money these days

If you want a decent set of carbon rigid front forks, new, from the manufacturer, I highly recommend the eXotic Carbon ones, available in 425 or 445 mm Lengths and with or without Canti Bosses (and proper bonded on bosses rather than the fugly pace ones) they are about £90 all in.

And no, I don't work for them! Just got them on my litespeed and they are ace!

What always surprises me is how little the weight saving is over P2s !
