Cracked carbon forks? Opinions needed!

yep, fair point

^Yeah, but his fork looks like it has a massive crack in it.

Cracking noise + Appearance of crack in fork = cracked fork.

I wouldn't risk spinning around with that timebomb ticking over my front wheel. You'd be buzzing along, full of the joys of spring, then suddenly you find you've given yourself a 'Kerby' and a Toyota Yaris is trying to get a piggy back.

New fork, every time.

"Give yourself a Kerby." Can we shout this at fellow members?

A new phrase enters the lexicon.

This forum is nearly as good as Willie Shake for evolving the language.

Must be a Yorkshire thing but 'Kerby' in Liverpool was a game you played with a football.

You stood on either side of the road and threw the ball at the opposite kerb hoping you'd hit it and get a rebound. There were other rules but ti was still pretty shit.

they do testing and repairs to frames, not sure about forks though could be an insurance nightmare for them.

The paint will crack before the carbon and this happens a lot with no damage to the carbon underneath. I sent off a frame to try for repair to another carbon repair place, they looked at what I thought was bad cracks on the seatstays and tried to pull it open then deemed them fine. Told me the frame was a right off with the damage to the downtube though! Personally I would recomend them as I have friends who've been happy with thier work and I was happy he didn't try and take my money for a frame that he wouldn't be happy fixing safely. This is who I used but they do no NDE http://www.carboncyclerepairs.co.uk/index.html
