View Full Version : While we're on the subject of fork stiffness...

I recently went through my Legend, including removing, cleaning, and inspecting my TT Alpha Q fork.

This particular fork has a carbon steerer. The steerer is painted with a vertical unmarked scale labelled "Stiffness Transfer Index" (or similar, I don't actually remember). On this article there is a dab of green paint at the extreme upper end of the scale, suggesting some sort of stiffness rank - but I don't know what.

Queries to TT produced a bounced email and silence, respectively.

Can any of the learned folk who might be reading this provide an explanation?

Thanks
