Out of curiosity, does that actually work out financially, or is it really cheap or are carbon forks really expensive?


You probably wouldn’t do this for a fork. You’d just replace it. The carbon frame though can be expensive


Ouch! Folks across the street own a bike shop and sponsor an annual criteruim. Last year there was a crash right in front of our house - touch of wheels I suppose. There's a slight hill at the end of the street and I guess the riders could have been going in excess of 30 mph or more. No one badly hurt AFAIK but one bike had a broken frame. In this case no fancy equipment was required to detect the flaw. :-/
