After reading all this I'm not so sure I would want a new Boardman fork. Free or not.
For them to have shown some concern and perhaps some goodwill in replacing the forks wouldn't have cost them a great deal.
It could be that there are only a few of these breaking but if they are only replacing ones that fail in the warranty period or for the original owners then there could be more which are not being flagged up.
From the interest they have shown I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.
I wish I was brave enough for that!Did you tell them where they could stick them?
No, I'm not. They are aware of it, just don't want to do anything about it so I don't know if contacting them via Twitter would make any difference.
The same thought has crossed my mind...After reading all this I'm not so sure I would want a new Boardman fork. Free or not.
Hopefully not. I'm so glad this happened very slowly on the flat. It could have been so much worse.Still it only takes one to kill someone.
I'd like to see the evidence for that rather startling claim.I think there are many documented issues with Carbon fork failure, many of them fatal.

Google it. I'm not doing the work for you. But here is one to be going on with.I'd like to see the evidence for that rather startling claim.
That's not how it works. If you make an extraordinary claim, it's your job to prove it.Google it. I'm not doing the work for you. But here is one to be going on with.
