I have warned people time and time again about the dangers of carbon fibre and how they can snap without warning. The picture above is proof positive and I have even seen with my own eyes how carbon fibre can let you down. If BMX racers nowadays say that the reason they use carbon fibre is because it is lighter, I can honestly say that there are slew of chromoly race forks in the market that are as light or even lighter than carbon fibre. The BMX race professionals use carbon fibre because they are sponsored riders. They can afford to change the fork after every race if need be. But how about the casual racer? Can he or she afford to change the fork after every race? Go figure.
