Carbon fork- normal wear?
Hi all,
Took a spill on my FastAs****mobile from a bump that twisted the bars out of my hands. The fork didn't take any impact, or not that I could see as I sailed gracefully over it, and there are no deep scrapes. I'm confident getting back on it.
While inspecting, though, I noticed what may be some delamination around the back of the brake mounting hole. It's an old fork (Profile Design BSC), and I was hoping some of the more knowledgeable hands around could say whether it's normal wear or some actual issue.

Looks like just the clear coat coming off a bit, which is a very different thing than delamination (fibers coming loose). I'd ride it and not worry about it. If the appearance bothers, use some fine sandpaper to remove the loose stuff then re-clear coat it (spray or nail polish). It won't be good as new but it will look better.
