I have an early Aventon Mataro with the original all aluminum fork. I think they all come with the CF/alloy-steerer fork now. I haven't had any problems with mine (yet) but I know a ton of people did. I'm honestly not too concerned, since I only ride mine on the track, and all the failures I've heard about happened on the street. Do they have any sort of preemptive warranty replacement for the newer style fork, or should I wait until I faceplant at the velodrome?
