I think you should be using a disc wheel instead.



Actually, I'm still afraid of having any part of a MTB frame made of CF. I've only recently become aware of its ability to be repaired, though, so my opinion may change.

Maybe I should apply for a research grant, buy a bunch of frames & bikes made of different materials, and then beat the snot out of them to see what really makes them fail. Sticks through the spokes, bang them on curbs & logs, etc.
