I love these threads about whether "carbon" is appropriate for clydes or not. Not all carbon components are equal. Any more so than all aluminum components. One of our local lbs had a collection of all the off cuts from shortening carbon seatpost and mtb bars. The variation in material, layup, resin to fiber ratio and general thickness is staggering.

Components can be engineering and manufactured for a desing specification in carbon as easily or maybe even more so than any other material. That doesn't mean to imply that all carbon components are or are not suitably for clydes. Some are, some aren't. Choose wisely.

I still don't like the fashion in which it fails. But, having ridden carbon forks for years (at 250-295lbs) without incident, my next frame will hopefully be just that.
