not sure how you called me out, i think you missed my point? i'm no expert, i'm not one quarter of an expert, i'm just saying, if you bend carbon fiber far enough, it snaps, breaks, etc... carbon forks are forgiving because they can flex... carbon can flex, but only so far, before it is broken. whereas a steel fork could bend far out of alignment, and then be bent again back into alignment... sorry to call your calling me out, out.
