I bought a asian import carbon fork (hope that doesn't offend anyone a I know some get steamed over carbon imports).
The carbon stem is extremely tight going on. Will a paste help? (I have ordered some, has not arrived yet) There seems to be a slight ridge on fork, is this normal? Can a safely/lightly sand this ridge area?
Sorry for my noobness to carbon, I have been off a bike for 20 years (last bike was a Medici with Columbus tubing)
Thank you for replies.
