Somebody asked me the other day if I have something against Reynolds forks. This was based on a post I made on this forum. I had written that there had been some problems with Ouzo Aero 700c forks on P3s, but my answer was a bit short due to limited time and the fact that I had written the long version just days earlier.
So in case others have gotten the same incorrect impression, I just want to say I have nothing against Reynolds forks (I think they are very well made) and do recommend them from time to time (no pun intended). My problem is with 40mm rake forks being put on Cervelo TT/tri bikes, and with the Reynolds Ouzo Aero being a popular fork and having a 40mm rake, this is the problematic combo we hear most about. But it also applies to other forks with a 40mm rake. So there is no problem putting a reynolds fork on your Cervelo, just make sure it's not a 40mm rake but a 43mm (for 700c).
