>>1749967carbon isn't expensive or new. the problem for the memewheel enthusiast is carbon's failure mode, and he's doing the equivalent of slapping a cosmetic bandaid on it. if the underlying structure is damaged, it'll let go and he could be in for a bad time. cutting the section away and replacing it would be better but not a great idea in the case of a wheel. but if the dude wants to larp as cipo, that's probs worth the risk
