I was thinking of picking up one of those cheapo Aliexpress carbon forks, but my buddy probably rightfully talked me out of it due to safety concerns.
Where should I buy an affordable carbon fork in 26" for rim brakes (in Yurop)?

carbon is mostly weak around the corners due to the internal radius being too wrinkly and containing voids.
older bikes use an lugged construction, only problem is that the lugs bonded surface must be kept free of water and air,
eg the paint around the joint must be perfect, any cracked or bubbling paint is an slightly bad sign.

I don't understand what the target market for those is, but they're nice looking forks

Those look twice as heavy as my stock CrMo forks, desu...

there is no timeline overlap between v-brakes and cheap carbon. even among chinks, it's almost impossible to find even a quick release carbon fork nowadays.
