Then we have to accept that crashes are inevitable. I've been driving for over almost 20years. In the space of that I'd never had accident until a couple weeks ago. For whatever reason a series of unfortunate events happened. A car came to a complete stop after another car was involved in an incident where they swerved in front of the driver ahead of me, before you know it you have a pile up. On a bike especially in racing conditions accidents happen nearly every stage of a race. In crit racing it happens almost every race.

We can accept that carbon has an almost infinite life if its put in a vacuum avoiding all other facts but we don't live in vacuums. If you accept the fact that you're going to be spending money breaking bike components inevitably. That's fine also. Not all of us have a bottomless put of money to spend on a shiny new bike frame every time something happens even if its not our fault.
