My mate has had a bad experience last night when his fork tube failed in the head tube at around 26 MPH. His front wheel obviously gave way and he was down. He's had quite a few stitches to his arm and face but he is generally ok.
I've included a couple of photo's to show the break in the fork.
His bike is a Ridley and less than 6 months old.
Has anybody seen this before?
Is likely to happen to any carbon composite forks?
Are there any checks we should do.
Many thanks in advance
Dave
