who makes a full carbon road fork with fender eyelets?

[elliott]

I've seen plenty of lower end forks with aluminum steerers, but are there any lighter full carbon options? I will probably just use some adapters like what comes with pdw fenders.

[christian]

No one.

[eBAUMANN]

does wound up count? "mostly carbon" fork ;)
they could probably do fender mounts for ya.

[d_douglas]

Wound Up - they do it all the time !

FWIW, PDW does sell a separate hardware kit for their fenders. VO has these as well: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/fenders/vo-fender-stay-mount-for-eyeletless-frames-4mm-qr.html

Also, Shawn at Ruckus will add some for you. He does it quite often for folks around Portland.

Kinesis tracer. Dunno where do get in the states though.

I was looking for one but am using on older Alpha Q instead.

[Bostic]

When I was ordering my Steve Rex frame he said it was easy enough to add eyelets on the Enve 2.0 fork if I wanted that option.

[krhea]

No one.

I've built numerous rain bikes for myself and friends using both these folks.

I think he said "full carbon", as in carbon steerer. Though why you'd care on a rain bike, dunno.

The OP asked about full carbon forks.

My bad, haven't had my first cup of Joe yet...my apologies Christian.

[rwsaunders]

I've got a NOS Serotta F3 in my hoard pile that's full carbon with eyelets.

[sandyrs]

FWIW Seven and Co-Motion make them for mid-reach brakes. You probably want to use short reach brakes though, right?

apparently signature cycles (shop) set up a customer with parlee to have mounts attached to his enve fork.

[54ny77]

signature could have sharks with friggin' lazer beams attached to your fork if you were so inclined.

just bring your checkbook. ;)

We all know that nobody would do this for an obvious reason...sharks are too heavy. Penguins work just as well. :rolleyes:

Parlee did this for me (the IF in thread that is linked above ) via signature cycles in 2010. Its still great and as I recall the price was not outrageous.

Ok, in truth, the Seven 5E for 47-57mm brakes is actually a full carbon fork with eyelets. But it is not light.

The other option is the unicorn-like Serotta ARO fork.

[tv_vt]

^^^ Seven 5e for mid/long reach brakes. Good enough for my Hampsten Strada Bianca and climbing the Tourmalet, and screaming down the other side.

[commonguy001]

The co-motion isn't horribly heavy and will take a 28mm wide tire.
Lots of room above but limited by being a touch narrow.

[ginsued]

Not sure if it would work for you, but maybe using a Trek Domane fork would be an option?

[sparky33]

sharks with friggin' lazer beams attached to your fork . ;)


Want.

Tange Prestige Carbon CX Fork

Tange Prestige carbon cross specific fork that features eyelets for front rack
IS disc mounts only (43mm rake)

[Rebel_Biker]

Forget about the Tange, I cannot read. OP posted all carbon. The Tange obviously has an alu steerer.

[PJN]

Short reach brakes: NO.

Best option - buy a used enve and send it to Ruckus in Portland for mounts and paint. About $250 IIRC. Great solution if you can live with 25s and fenders. I have a bike built around one and it is nice.

Other idea: custom steel carbon fork with eyelets - I've built a few with matching dimensions to Enve (AC and rake) with straight columbus SL blades - they ride pretty nice.

If you're having a custom bike built and want long reach brakes there are some options.

Long reach brakes:
Seven: something like $800. Never seen one in the flesh. Too rich for my blood.

Co-Motion (as mentioned above): only sold to builders at this time. Retail is something like $460. Nicest fork I have seen of this option. As stated above a little narrow. Only available in 47mm and 51mm rake which is a bummer. I'm building a bike around one now - commuter style.

Columbus Hiver: Available via euroland to USA for $280 or something. Skinny (only fits a 30mm tire but 28s and fenders clear really nice) and pretty bendy. Nice for but not end all be all. 45mm rake.

Kinesis TK2 carbon (I had a straight 1-1/8 full carbon a few years ago but it looks like they only make it in tapered/full carbon now). Nice fork. 45mm rake.

Non full-carbon (ally steer-er) options: ird mosaic 57. I had one. It is a turd.

[joosttx]

Here's a detail of the very nice fender mounts that Parlee did on an Enve cross fork. As I recall the work was around $200+ in 2010.
