Hello, I have a question about the carbon fork on my Felt Fr30. I bought it in 2023 on eBay.
I have 2 problems:
picture 1: Is this horizontal line a concern? Unfortunately I can't say how long it's been there, probably a stem was tightened too tight. Its only in the Front for about 90 degrees.
The compressor is 5.5 cm long and fits therefore below the line.
I rode for a while with a loose compressor because it wasn't tightened and the ahead screw always pulled the compressor out of the fork shaft. This is just for information. However, I believe that the problems would then be directly at the bearing and not at the Position where it actually is.
Picture2:
I looked into the fork steerer for the first time and noticed that it looks terrible. Is it just cheaply made and I've been driving it for the last few years and don't have to worry about it? Or have i probably done this? There arent any signs at the outside of the steerer
How is something like this supposed to happen in terms of forces? It starts 1-2 cm below the Compressor and sits at the height of the frame's Front Tube.
Picture 3:
My Compressor just in case
Ps: Ive used carbon paste in the past.. My bad
Im glad if you could give me some advice!
