Steel forks aren't very repairable.... . .
      04/09/04 10:11 AM (67.21.68.131)

I bent a Waterford made steel fork in rough terrain (no crash) and sent it to them for repair.They said it had exceeded its limits and would not repair it ,nor would they return it to me to hang on my "trophy" rack.I understand the legal liabilities involved and don't blame them.

I replaced it with a carbon fork since I'd rather have a yes/no choice,rather than a maybe.

I replaced a Ti (Litespeed) frame with a Calfee and I feel it was the best choice I ever made.If I crash it,I'll send it back to Calfee for repair or replacement.Until then,I'll enjoy the ride and performance.
