Replace Fork at 5 Years?? Really???
I was riding with one of my club mates today. He mentioned that he has heard that some recent frame failures (including crashes) involve the fork and/or steerer.
He rides a Lynskey and he contacted them to find out what they recommend.
He said they told him they recommend a new fork every five years.
This seems pricey and also overly cautious to me. I would think that if you don't over torque it or abuse it, and inspect for cracks, a carbon fork would last 10 years or longer.
My Habanero has a Ritchey WCS fork that is 5 years old. Should I be concerned?
Any thoughts or comments??
