nickC had the same problem
Exactly the same place as mine. Replaced by Magura under warranty.
I am the second owner tho
Ah.
I think Magura have some issues with the people that make the lower casing TBH, they had a recall of another type of fork that was cracking on the arch, and I heard some Wotans had cracked around the brake mount as well. Mine was apparently the first case they'd heard of and they had to go back the Germany to get sorted. Still, £80 not bad for full lowers and a rebuild I guess.
I am trying to claim on the "accidental damage" to a pedal cycle on my home insurance as its a specified item.
Will see how that goes first
Had Luke touched your forks as well nickc?
I really wished I'd just waited for Revelations...
*goes off to check forks for cracks*
I may go down that route also kit
El broke as well...... 😥

I see pace have passed on their legendary reliability and quality control to DT. 🙄
I think i will get the Thors repaired (new lowers fitted by Magura) and sell them on. Then i can get some Maxle Lite revs from bikeoutlet
This actually happened back in May.... They replaced the lower legs which still are not right. When the wheels is in it looks to the left (out of dish). It was nt like that before and the wheel is pefect. So even without using the fork they went back......Upon return the note said "The carbon is within DT tolerences, and they are fir for use"
Bollocks! A fork that now costs £800 should be perfect!
They will be going back just before the 2 years is up.

Yep definitely sounds like Pace. The steerer tube on my Pro Class 2s snapped about an inch up from the crown, (this was 8 years ago btw), just before they recalled the whole range. Was told the usual line about it being the only time it's ever happened, (even though I'd seen someone else with the same problem at the Red Bull the week before).
Anyhoo, despite the fact they had snapped pretty spectacularly at about 20mph, they simply re-fitted a stronger steerer tube. That was fine until anout a month later when I noticed that 7 seperate small cracks and one huge gaping crack had appeared in the crown. Upon sending them back for the second time I was told it was my own fault and they wouldn't be covered under warranty because I had been jumping on them! Considering that they knew the history of the fork, I found it very surprising that they could try to fob me off like that. These days I'm not surprised by anything they say... 🙄
They`re not filling me with confidence either! 😐
why dont u buy some cheap old mazocchi's they dont brake?
prefer being able to brake myself..........
Bloody Northerners.
