Flipped my bike to change the tube, realized the fork is fractured. I’ve never dropped the fork or even the bike, I’ve used it several times on my trainer…
Asking the questions I might not want the answers for:
– Can I keep riding it?
– Is there a fix or should I replace?
– seems that the fracture is not in a critical place, but it might affect the strength
Thanks

I’d take it to a good carbon repair shop. They’ll fix that up for you. Have had friends with similar damage and was fixed for reasonable price.
Depending on the bike, replacement forks are not that expensive. Probably cheaper than repairing for sure. Might also be covered under manufacturer warranty depending on year and frame.
It could possibly be repaired, a carbon repair specialist would be able to tell you. I would not ride the bike, you risk the crack growing.
