Of course you can. My point is that carbon bicycles & bits are NOT overbuilt. Once you get outside of their intended design purpose, which is lightweight racing, you're looking at higher rate of failure. Also to reiterate my position: the material carbon-fiber could be used to overbuild an awesome touring bike. BUT the repurposing of racing bicycles to carry loads (excluding rider) is problematic especially over time.
