Hi
After deciding to give my bike it's annual clean, I came across this crack in the rear fork.
The bike is aluminium, therefore doesn't seem to be as simple to weld as steel.
Question is, what do you think the safety level is on such a bike? At present I've been coasting and not going much faster than 10mph but before this, I would often ride 20 miles per day at 17mph.
If this isn't an immediate threat to my safety, I'll keep it otherwise I may have to buy something new....
Thanks
