Lugged carbon frame... Is it safe?

think of how yourself is connected to the bike, your feet, pedals then bb axles. in terms of loads, the bottom bracket does not recognise the diff between pull or push.

exactly. specifically, I'm worried about the weave being designed for compression forces but not for a tension force on the drive-side down-stay. i'm not worried about generating excessive force (braking vs accellerating). Chance would be a fine thing if I could do either..!
