at 230 pounds your not really "heavy" for this kind of equipment.
Carbon is LIGHT and STIFF but very brittle. so for really heavy people (400 pounds like me) not a good idea.
one pot hole or sharp impact might shatter one. if they make it a carbon/kevlar weave would be better.
carbon gives you the stiffness and kevlar gives you the flex/strength to compensate for the brittle carbon.
but again from a materials standpoint at 230 pounds your not taxing any of this equipment so buy what you like/can afford.
