Why take a chance on a bike with carbon chainstays?
It actually looks like that frame is not really designed to work with the cassette and crankset that is installed on it. Not enough clearance for my taste.
You don't load a weapon, point it at something, and pull the trigger to see if the safety works.
And yes, I have spoke protectors on the rear wheels of my bikes.
