Snapping alloy steerers

[aidan.f]

As  my Alu/Carbon fork Pearson is  now ahem .. seven years old I think it's time for a new fork. I can  buy a replacement from Pearsons, I don't suppose  they make them themselves though. This should do instead,  https://www.evanscycles.com/m-part-rigid-700c-carbon-road-bike-fork-EV146183
Never  heard of M-Part, as ?Chinese? manufacturing goes how good are they?

I think M-Part is Madison's house brand, if that helps establish trust. (I've had other small parts from them which have been fine, but there's not a lot to go wrong with the likes of chainring bolts.)

Thanks for the clarification, will order an M-Part from Evans and take a  look at it in the shop - If I don't like  it I can just walk away to Pearsons.

Note they are 375mm long and, presumably, for long drop brakes. If so, you could replace with surly pacer forks - the 45mm offset version would almost certainly be a direct replacement (pm me if you want some!)

I really don't like alloy steerers. Carbon monocoque or steel forks for me.
