Pinarello ONDA fork

Very interesting design to see. I was wondering if anyone has ridden
on this fork, how would you like to compare it to conventional
straight and curved bladed forks?

this is r.b.t. pinarello use carbon forks. carbon forks are evil.
death to carbon forks. because as /any/ fool knows, carbon forks
shatter like glass because they're "brittle", not tough, or strong or
fatigue resistant. we know this because we have "engineers" like peter
cole and aerospace composites specialists like jambo who share their
extensive knowledge, expertise and experience, freely and so /so/
generously. and /reliably/.

I hear it's stiff yet compliant.

I have ridden Pinarello bikes with the Onda fork. The bikes were very
nice, but it is impossible to say how much the Onda fork had to do
with it. My road bike is a 2005 Pinarello without the Onda fork and I
think it rides nice too, so who knows.

One thing I don't like about the later Pinarello's like mine is that
they use non-"standard" headset bearings. They use some cartridge
bearings that can be bought at a machine supply place for cheap, but I
don't think bearings like that are meant to have such high side loads.
Mine have worn out pretty fast which is irritating.

Nah, you just have to massage them with squeezes, listen to them when they
talk to you, or when they start singing. Because CF forks do that before
they break. CF forks just need sympathetic ears and a shoulder to cry on,
that's all. On the other hand, if you'd rather let an expert do the job,
try www.CarbonFiberWhisperers.com, and ask for "jim".
