cracked carbon frames
do you check your frame regularly? some of the pictures I see on here of cracks in a carbon frame look so small that I'm not sure I would notice them. would a crack in a carbon frame really be that big of a deal?

If you know the history of the bike and know it's not been crashed, don't worry about it. If you are looking to buy a used carbon bike and it's cracked, keep moving on. The owner isn't likely to tell you if it's actually crashed, and carbon bikes can fail catastrophically. New carbon or no carbon.
