I've decided I should try to replace the Ouzo fork on my Luna Pro with something stiffer.

I don't like the flexibility in the Ouzo, it vibrates when stopping and I don't feel it is good at holding a tight line in the corners.

Craig says changing the fork to something stiffer may not improve the cornering - but I gotta try something.

Any opinions on the best fork to use with the Luna?
Is the Alpha Q or Easton LX preferred? What are the differences in the ride and handling.

Is the 44mm rake on the Alpha vs the 43 on the Easton anyc concern?

Other brands I should think about?

(BTW I'm limited to 1" steering tube so the choices are few)




Craig is the expert. He would be my go to guy if I had a question about bike handling. However, if you are looking for a stiff fork, I don't think they come any stiffer than a Wound Up. I am told it is much stiffer than a Alpha Q, Easton or Ouzo Pro.

Wound Up comes in a 1" steer tube.
