Message: >>I was severly injured recently during a training ride when the fork on my bike completely snapped without warning or impact. Does anyone have any information on this type of failure? It was a aluminum frame and carbon fork. Thanks >There are always recall notices on bicycle components. Check to make sure your fork wasn't recalled. As a rule I stick to carbon forks with a life time warranty. I avoid anything that has a one year warranty or is a no name brand import.
