@Chris.
Never had a carbon frame and curious about its strength. Seen videos on YouTube of hammers etc, but not exactly representative of real-life use, and I guess the pro peleton get on crashed bikes and ride them to the finish, but are those bikes then used again afterwards? How many bumps and knocks can they take, short of a full on crash? SuperSix for example.
Another cyclist pulled out in front of me and then stopped at a roundabout, so I bumped their back wheel, but not fast, and managed to unclip and get my foot down without falling over. Nothing to worry about I'm sure.
Aksium wheelset is holding up nicely too. Surprised with 20 spokes compared to the 32 I usually have.
