This story has been going around for years. When I got mine maybe 9 years ago I was told about the rabbit that was decapitated by spinergys in a US road race. I raced in may crits before the UCI banned all one piece carbon wheels in bunch starts and many other riders used them too. I have never seen any proof to the stories so I say "Urban Legend". I had my foot sliced badly when my pedal and foot went into the front wheel of an other rider's bike. His spokes were standard.
I say "Go get em tiger", you and your bike will look fantastic.
Steve.
