I just sold the 4 carbon forks I had. One was at least 15 years old and fucked up looking.
I am 30 now and I don't want anything to do with them.
Give me a drop bar touring bike to ride slow for century rides and I will be happy forever.
I set up my bikes so I *can't* accelerate much faster than gravity pulls me on a steep descent. There is no option to go 35/40mph down a hill. Just coast it brah. Chill ride babe
>>970674>Carbon is stronger than metal.Assuming no damage and proper bonding.
Carbon is great if you compete. CX, road, mtb, sure.
If you are riding carbon on commutes / roads with a lot of cars / training on country roads I would avoid it. There's no reason to take the risk in uncontrolled environments.
