My housemate just cracked the upper leg of his 03 dorados.
The spot thats failed is right between the upper and lower crowns.
He's planning to get the crack wrapped in carbon to strengthen it.
We think the dorado's intergrated stem makes this more likely to happen as the force when the bars get hit in a crash is trasfered to the fork.
This force would normally just twist the stem around on the steerer tube and possibly bend the bars. He's gonna run a normal stem from now on.
Anyone here agree that intergrated stems make it more likely you'll damage your forks in a crash?
