New Year - New Teeth
I will sand down and report.
In the meantime, a bike shop has listed 10+ tapered forks on eBay, all brand new and ending in 3 days so I will follow and bid.
#CSB Some of them are the latest Giant steerer diameter which would mean new headset & new stem & thru axle so will stick to the 'standard' ones.

Same opinion as russmeyer.
The crown is aluminium and the blades are carbon. Look at the fork on the attached to see what I think the construction of the fork is like under the paint.
What you are seeing is the paint cracking at the joint line, as the the crack runs all the way around the fork, due to the difference in flexibility of the two materials.
