hippy
@marcom
I had to change the forks to my beater(I know shit crap bike), too much power has been applied and it snapped(I didn't fell off and I'm still alive).
I was in rush and the only fork I found is this one in carbon, cheap, £60 from Camden Cycles, no brand. The Columbus in Cycle Surgery was £120 and for that bike nope.
The question is, possibly @hippy and @andyp , is there something specific that I need to know about carbon? like how much to tight the wheels nuts? Does it need some special washers? etc
Nothing too anal just precaution.
Thank you.
