It’s so believable with those voids and delamination when I say it’s a china fork. Would you believe it’s a $1000 fork? What if I told you this is a cane creek invert? Because it is. I am still at a complete loss for words and have yet to contact cane creek with these photos. Maybe all you are wrong about price buying quality control? Not one of the 4 or 5 china forks I have used in my builds has looked this bad. The one and only issue I have had with a cheap china fork was the brake caliper mounts were not square to the rotor. Otherwise I have never seen this kind of factory defect even in a $100 fork from allibaba.
