Reviews
David Alderson - The boost forks are absolutely mint. I highly recommend them for quality and for stiffness. I hade them on a smokestone Mr Harry and with a rock shock stem. Gives me loads of comfort. The attachment points have not been used but they soon will. I had a lauf fork on BUT it’s not suited to road use at all and the Travers absolutely is. These are highly recommended by me doing the ALL POINTS NORTH and a certain try for any of you.
