He was riding with my wife this evening on clear, dry, smooth roads travelling about 20mph when the bike stopped and he sailed over the bars. The only explaination i can come up with is that the fork fatigued and the tire jammed against the sloping down tube. Has anyone heard of this happening before? was there ever a recall on these forks? I'm just trying to figure out what happened.
