Steerer flex

I could see and feel a fair amount of flex when I would straddle the bike and pull/push on the ends of my handlebars with the carbon Moots fork. When I did the same thing on my Serotta I detected very little flex. The Kestrel fork with the aluminum steerer on the Serotta was noticeably stiffer while riding too. In fairness, I did have a bit more steerer tube exposed on my Moots but not enough to make that much difference. Both bikes feel the same now in the front end/at the handlebar.
