The Indra thread will show you that Crabon isn't the only material that sometimes doesn't play nice. Point was, further back, is fatigue failure is harder to predict with crabon as it's complex stuff, whereas with alu, it's a bit clearer. Maybe. I just read that on t'tinternet, not an engineer etc.
I don't doubt the 'strength' of crabon, I just doubt the certainty with wich we can define how 'long' a crabon part will 'last' in realistic use.
