Thursday, we had -- and lost - an altercation with a mini-suv. We t-boned
her at around 20mph. (20 to 0 in one second!) (We both have a general bruises and road rashes plus a bruised knee and for me, a broken finger. I think we'll be fine for GTR-2015!) Our Spinergy T-2 appears to have escaped damage (rim's true, no broken spokes, and the tube didn't pop). Anyway, we have a Wound-Up/Co-Motion carbon fork. I didn't see any cracks in the fork, but the whole bike is at the shop getting the fine tooth comb-thing for insurance and piece of mind. When does a fork need to be replaced if there there are no cracks? I found this article, but it's not exactly a new piece:
Technical FAQ with Lennard Zinn: Carbon Forks - VeloNews.com . And another thread off of Bike Forums:
http://www.bikeforums.net/general-cy...r-3-years.html . I haven't back from our LBS. This was also our first real crash (tandem or half-bike), so we have no experience in the matter.
