@bizcet No the ''shock-wave'' travels up the forks more harder than standard steel 'raked' forks, Thus alot of road users who have carbon forks get tingling hands caused by the constant vibrations which travel straight up 'straight forks'.

Don't you morons know that without the axle this test is pointless! It is an incomplete structure without the axle.

@hagenar apparently you can just add layers of carbon fibre and epoxy over the crack and good as new..just adds a bit o weight but gets really solid just like new.

When I worked at my first bike shop in the '80s we used to stomp the rear triangles of frames we threw out in order to keep people from climbing the fence and making a mess out of our dumpster looking for "goodies".
