A guy in my shop yesterday asked me to 'just make it work' on a 15 year old carbon fork with a crack near the dropout.

Man that reminds me of a buddy who tried to fix a cracked frame with epoxy and zip ties... said it was fine for "around town." Saw him a week later with his front wheel taco'd and a new respect for basic physics. Some things you just can't patch up with good intentions. He ended up buying a whole new bike, which hurt his wallet way more than a fork would have.

Honestly, that's the kind of lesson you only learn the hard way.
