Thanks.
NO! And mine was steel.
If you can't accept that the equipment you ride - in most cases, and in general - can handle what you can do to it, you should probably not be riding it.
The pros ride all combinations of what is available on the market. They routinely apply two to four times the power, sometimes six or seven, that I can to it. For much longer "rides" than I do. They hardly ever break anything.
I feel pretty safe with mine.
