I need help, FAST.
I have the chance to get a really cheap rear specialized tri spoke, but its cassette axle style, for a 8, 9 , 10 speed. i was wondering if you can buy a seperate axle for it, to make it fixed gear.
I was also told tehre is something made by surly that can do that, but i was wondering how much that would cost, and if its worth the trouble.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP, PLEASE REPLY SOON

It's probably just something aesthetic like a crack in the carbon. The smart buyer will cover this with a sticker and *shazam* it's like a new tri-spoke only with a sweet sticker.
* seriously though, don't ride a cracked carbon wheel. You'll die.
