a couple of weeks ago I panicked because my 1" Columbus muscle fork (or something at the front) was making a loud click every 15 mins or so, under heavy braking. I told my shop about it, and they happily swapped the fork for a new full-carbon Mizuno.
I guess the fact that the Columbus Muscle retails for about 600 bucks, and the Mizuno is about 300, made it an easy decision for them
