Carbon Fork
Anyone ever have any serious failure with a carbon fork with a carbon
steering tube. I just got one and it seems real light. Wondering about overall safety.

DPG- Anyone ever have any serious failure with a carbon fork with a carbon
steering tube. I just got one and it seems real light. Wondering about overall safety. BRBR " no such thing as a free lunch"...Light is not as strong as not as light, other things, like material, being equal. A light carbon fork isn't as strong as a heavier one.

Several years ago I had a carbon fork with carbon steerer with "Litespeed"
decal on it. It broke near the crown and luckily I found it doing maintenance and not riding it. Be careful - not worth the weight in my opinion.
