This is a normal post I'm staggered that he keeps pedalling for so long after it starts disintegrating
I'd have dropped it in an instant knowing there was a rotating disc of splintered carbon fibre right behind my backside!

This is a normal post There are carbon car wheels now too.
I'm still thinking this is last thing that should be.

This is a normal post I know, gorgeous bike.
Makes more sense in motorcycles than cars.

Carbon can be made to do many things, but it doesn't mean that it should be. What I'm trying to say, it's inherently brittle and the end product is only as good as your design and manufacturing process tolerances (always the case true, but you don't have any safety net at all).

It's similar to pushing aluminium frame in place of steel, only an order of magnitude more serious. It can be done but it doesn't always make sense.

This is a normal post Pure carbon is pure marketing
Mix in some E-glass, Nomex, Kevlar or other to reduce the brittleness, and the only thing tougher is rolled homogeneous steel found on battleships.
