Did you get some damage on the back side of the fork crown?
That looks like a very neat carbon fiber rim. Hopefully it can be salvaged.
No scuffs to the frame or fork that I can find. Just some tears to the bar tape. I guess between my body and the handlebars it kept the frame and fork from getting beat up?? These wheels are direct from China and I've put over 25,000 miles on them with zero issues. They are light and sturdy. As long as the rim is not damaged any more than the scuffs, I think there is plenty of room in the brake track to align the brake pads so they''re not running over top of those marks. I wouldn't be surprised to find a spoke or two in a weakened state given what they went through but we'll see.
