Crashed Carbon Frame and fork

[veyron.]

Hey guys. I heard that once a carbon frame and fork has been in a crash it cant be ridden again even if its not cracked? Is it ok to ride a carbon frame and fork if its been in a crash and has no viable cracks?

 

Thanks

If it is not cracked, ride it. What's the issue? You can even ride frames that have cracks. Not all cracks are fatal. Carbon fibre doesn't propagate cracks in the way metal does, this process is much, much slower with carbon.

If we were to replace bikes after each crash someone will make a lot of money.
