Hi all
Can anyone advise me regarding the folliowing. Recently a colleague of mine was seriously injured in a cycling accident where (reportedly) the carbon front forks on his road bike fractured at high speed and he was thrown off, fracturing 3 neck vertebrae. He is currently in a medically induced coma and the prognosis is uncertain.
Some people I have been talking to have suggested getting carbon fibre bikes laser scanned to check for microfractures which can suddenly turn into a catastrophic failure. Is this recommended? If so, where can you get it done?
Any information would be helpful. I have been looking at my carbon fibre road bike in a different light the past few days.
