    They have limited tolerance for heat that you can’t solve without either improving cooling or reducing hard acceleration / deceleration (using additional material) when used in wheels. When used in frames you need to reduce stress points with very good dampening.

    They can certainly be strong, but they have similarities to tempered glass where damage accumulates over time and can’t self heal so they have a best before date built in.

      Yeah…

      People ride carbon mountain bikes with carbon wheels for years without issues and worst case it can be repaired.

      I’m done here.

        What these manufacturers needs to do is to start embedding indicators for stress damage (common in industrial machinery, etc), but so far I haven’t heard of anybody at all doing that in this industry. Until they do I don’t trust it.
