Post your carbon fiber wins and fails.

I've got a set of Hylix 700c cantilever forks with an aluminum steerer tube. Only doing commuter stuff with it and so far so good. Got more than 3,000 miles on it.

Its a stock photo, bro. And I'm not too worried about weight. Did you catch the part where I said the steerer tube is aluminum? Seems like you missed that bit.

Do people seriously want to ride lighter forks than that? Sounds like something thats gonna crack on pavement edges.

Stock fork on my emonda alr is ~440g with metal steerer and dropouts and it's been perfectly fine. I don't exactly do jumps with it or anything though.
