i totally agree with you. i'm sick of seeing so much misinformation.
a track bike is meant for riding in a track. so why would the designers put layer upon layer of carbon on a fork that was meant to be used on a smooth surface velodrome. that is just ********. less layers of carbon equals lighter fork. and weight as many of you know is a major selling point for bikes.
if i wanted to make a strong carbon fork...just pile on the layers.
but yes for tricking i think a steel or alu fork would be much safer because of how they slowly break. unlike carbon that snaps.
