Pro carbon after crashes

"Not an instant disintegration"

Yes that's the bit that would bother me, the apparent resilience but just waiting to crumple up on your next high speed descent.

If carbon fibre were as fragile as some people would have you believe the roadside at and mass participation event would be littered with broken bikes. Maybe I led a sheltered life but I've never seen one and the two pairs of carbon fibre forks I used for nearly a decade bounced down enough potholes without any problem. Ride it, crash it and don't worry about it, get back up and ride it again.
