should I be getting my carbon forks checked after a head on collision with another bike? there is no sign of damage or scratches to forks or frame. the only marks are on the shifters. was probably only doing 10mph on impact.

    Checked as in an X-ray?

    I would take the forks out of the frame and examine the steerer tube for damage, esp. where it connects with the fork (fork crown).

    I would check for a small mouse in your down tube

    Did you accidentally post this on the wrong thread? Would have made sense on this one :-
