if carbon fiber is supposed to be strong, I wouldn't worry about it...i don't think the force exerted upon the wheel coming down from wheelies is that much compared to other more intense riding forces...

anyways...practiced wheelies the other day and it was a great workout.... how bout we turn this into a...'how do you wheelie'...thread

I like to roll at a slow speed, but fast enough so that I still don't have to put that much force into pedaling each stroke....then anticipating one leg's approach of 12ocklock, get down low toward the handle bars (and on the nose of my seat), almost in a crouching position...and then push up hard off my handlebars and pull up and try to hit a sweet spot

i'm not that great, but when i warm up i can get some nice ones....a lot of work to do, but it takes me back to skateboarding days practicing something over and over

any experienced peeps (or people trying) wanna post tips/experiences?
