Here's a link that carries the same video posted earlier. Most of the rest are horror stories of carbon failure. It's my worst fears that I indicated earlier and like I said, never had a carbon failure as I've never owned one, but frames snapping, steerer tubes that break if not properly tightened, then there are the broken dropouts. Here's evidence, but what happens to aluminum or steel in the same mishap ? Are they destroyed beyond bending them back to alignment ? I'm also wondering how these get repaired. I have done surfboard & boat repair with fiberglass, but for this, where to get carbon fiber to wrap the crack/break and is it some type of 2 part polyester resin/chemical agent mix ?

I guess what happened to the steerer tube on the Trek pics, that might happen, even to a carbon seat post ?
