  1. Hi,

    could you please take a look at the pictures I took of my carbon fork (I have a Specilized Allez
    Comp). I just have it for 2 months and I noticed an irregularity in the carbon structure. Just went
    to my bikeshop. They said it must have been there from the start but it is no problem. No
    replacement necessary. I am just worried that it will "break" one of these days.

    pictures are available at:

    thanks for the help.

  2. If I'm not mistaken, Specialized has a lifetime warranty on the frame. It looks like it should
    be replaced.

    That looks like a manufacturing fault, 'cause when carbon fails, it fails big time. How the fcuk it
    got past quality control I can't imagine. DEMAND a new fork NOW!

  4. Try another bikeshop that carries Specialized
