    Your Wolf SL weighed around 340 - 350g, the 3T Funda Pro weighs in at around 375g. We're talking 25g - 35g for a fork that is stiffer and will give a much better ride and handling on descents than anything Easton produce. To put into perspective just how little 25g is, a medium sized apple weighs about 150g, so you're willing to sacrifice the handling of your bike for the weight saving of 1/6 of an apple? Not really worth it!

    Re: Wolf SL being recalled by Cervélo

    i found my r3sl with the wolf fork on a bit touchy in desents so i tried a easton on it and it slowed the steering down a touch ,but with my soloist the wolf worked perfectly .i am a bit worried that the 3t might quicken the steering up again .  i am hearing good reports about edge products .i also like the thinnier lines of the easton compered to the bladded forks .a triathlete who also owns a bike shop is using the cell top of the line bike as he found decents tricky with the r3sl as well .but when you get to try out any bike you like it is easier to grab something different when it might only need a different tyre . ps i use continental attack and force on american classic magnesium . i have used three sets of zippsand all of them tore at the nipples.

    Keep your 3T... it a much better fork.. I got the Easton and hate it, it flexes too much.  If you want a ligher fork go with what CSC rides:  AlphaQ GS 10 or the new Edge fork.

    hi , i think half the problem is that after paying $5500 for a frame set ,for the lightest frame .that cervelois  suppling a fork that is not the lightest around , some might say that a few grams here are there does not matter ,but to me it is like buying a porche and puttinga set of ford rims on it , i think i will save up for a edge , it would be nice if cervelo replaced them with a fork that matched comepletly 3t do make a lighter fork
