BarHugger Posted November 15, 2014 Share Definitely not an issue with the strength of the fork or carbon. I had previous abused the fork far beyond the intended use plus I'm a nice racey 100kgSo what is your plan regarding 'n ryding for tomorrow? What is the back-up, or is it a fix-up. Saw that you will do a 15km test ride tomorrow.......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted November 15, 2014 Share How exactly did you manage to snap the fork on the steerer?It's not like that's a weak spot on a fork, a alu or metal would deform on the fork legs not shear off at the base of the steerer.
