Carbon Decisions

hippy They always had issues with high-power transfer and getting carbon crank spiders to stay attached to the chainrings.
My guess is carbon cranks at top-end sprinter output just don't cut the mustard.
Alu seatpost is interesting.. surely all the bumps on the track would require carbon? ;)

I had a set of Carbon Storck Power Arms come apart on me (spider failure), I was just flying along on the road as opposed to hurtling down a mountain so no harm done - but to this day the warranty replacement crank arms are just sitting on my desk as a failure like that on a hard bend on climb might have been pretty bad.

P.S. For sale 1 pair of the legendary Storck Power Arms (MTB) 5 arm compact - 302g (for the pair) ;P
