Hit a pedestrian this morning who ran out into the road, causing me to come off my bike and hurt my knee. Nothing major - The bike (Sirrus Pro) looks and feels fine, but how would you know whether there is any damage to carbon forks?

Flappy, can you be more specific on the age/sex/behaviour of the ped so we can allocate points correctly?
thanks

One thing you don't want to risk is your forks breaking while riding as a result of any damage this accident may have caused. If I were you I'd go to your local bike shop and ask them to give your bike a once over. I guess the obvious signs of damage will be impact marks and cracks, but a professional will know exactly what to look for.0

I had a very strange bit of frame damage after my commute on my aluminum frame which showed up on a service.It looked like the back wheel rim had worn into the frame which is still very strange.It hadn't showed up on a previous service.Very strange.When they found th damage they refused to work on it so that was the end.
