any thoughts on lifespans of above fork? Using a Hope Hub and Mini brakes.
also, what are the signs of wear or pending failure.
all working well at the moment,......
So your question is:
I have a 3 year old fork that works well and has no faults, but because someone had a dodgy frame from the same manufacturer, I'm now paranoid and think it'll snap and I'll die?
I've had some for about 3 years.
Friend had some and after a year they snapped.
if it does snap you may well die burn them

err no, just wanted to know the life span of carbon forks, and what to look out for, very happy with them. prefer them to suspension.
(more worried about my Manitou CNC stem snapping, having cracked one in the 1990's)
Ok, in that case I'd look out for cracks and very deep scratches. Pretty much the same on any fork...
3 rides... do I win?
hmmm ask ti pin man....
