Hello all,
I have a Trek 1.5. Aluminium frame with bontrager carbon fork.
Yesterday I had a bit of a spill, young girl on the track, tried to avoid her and the front wheel ended up in a ditch and I was thrown off the bike. My speed was approx 20 km/h.
Now I am hearing a creaking noise from the fork/head stem area when I put weight onto the handle bars. Also hear the same noise if I prop the bike up on the front wheel and allow the bike to swing around the axis of the head stem.
Is this a symptom of damaged carbon fork?
I have not ridden the bike again since and intend on bringing it to the dealer next chance I get.
Anyone had similar problems?
Thanks
