We met Jack on his beautiful @sklarbikes at the Southern Migration Rally this January, and we got to talking about bikes, because of course we’re all just nerds. He mentioned that it would be cool to put a Spork on it, but that Sklar said that the only compatible fork was an Enve adventure fork. That sounded odd, so we sent him a Spork to install and send feedback on. Lo-and-behold: It works great. Adding his feedback here for posterity. Of note: We make a 50 offset fork, so the difference in rake would only be 5mm, which is even smaller than what he tested. 
 
(By the way, we sent the fork with zero instructions or expectations. We just said “see if it mounts up and rides ok, and let us know what you think). We did let him keep the fork for his time and effort.
 
-———— Jack’s review—————
 
Don’t know how technical or in depth of a report you wanted (although I’m no scientist so data is emotional) but I’ll give it my best shot. I ran the Sklork with an i9 gravel wheel set and two sets of tires, teravail ramparts in 35mm (all road) and teravail cannonballs in 47mm (gravel). Biggest difference I notice across the board was weight, especially when running the all road set up. I only really noticed the reduction in rake (55 stock vs. 45 spork) when on road with the all road set up. The larger tires with my gravel set up seemed to have offset that feeling, even when on gravel. One of my biggest concerns (and why I love metal bikes so much) was hand fatigue, especially at @croatanbuckfifty . After a long day in the saddle on the flat rough windy gravel of coastal NC, I did not notice a significant difference from the stock fork, I dropped the psi in my tires by about 2-3 psi up front to accommodate and that was perfect.
 
My first time back on a carbon component in over 2 years was a great success and I think that’s mostly due to Rodeo’s attention to detail. I think this experiment worked great and happy to report that the Sklorp is a viable combo.

OUR VALUES

RIDE

Our bikes as hard as we can. Never lose touch with the fact that true inspiration for everything we do comes from time spent in the saddle.

EXPLORE

If we stay where things are familiar we will quickly grow stale. To stay challenged we always seek out the new. New paces to ride, new goals to attempt, and new people to collaborate with.

CREATE

When we return home from our adventures we take our experiences and turn them into things that we can share. Stories, photos, videos, and inspired products are the fruit of our labor.
