A question of aesthetics.

Post by macinblack »

Santa has hinted at a set of Travers Prong forks for (unsurprisingly,) Christmas.

That'll be nice but I can't decide between matte and gloss.

They'll go on a Ti Broken Road.

What do you reckon, dull or shiny?

Matte would be my choice. Got some gloss finish forks here that look scruffy with the inevitable scratches.

Matte is certainly more classy but it is well known that a shiney finish has significant aero benefits, it could save you up to 10 seconds over 24 hrs! YVMV

That could be a game changer...
