Fork wanted

Not hungry. My Sunfil has a cracked front fork.
Totally a long shot but maybe a member has a carbon fork that needs a home. Standard 1 1/8 steerer, about 43 mm rake. Please send a pm if you have one. Thanks, Marcus. P.s. I am aware of Roberts Composites. Might go that route.

Bummer Marcus.
I wouldn’t count on Roberts for a fork repair; lots of
folks say they’re pretty reluctant when comes to forks. Only ones I’ve heard of them repairing were proprietary but out of production national team track forks. And only after much cajoling.
All the modern forks seem to be full carbon now, with no aluminum. Presumably to avoid those two
materials separating.

Thanks for the heads up Lister. After spotting a crack in a fork on my wife’s bike I decided to go with a diy carbon fibre repair. The forks look and feel strong now although they aren’t pretty.
