Carbon Concerns
It's just one man's opinion, but he's in a position to know. A fellow named Aaron Goss, president of Aaron's Bicycle Repair, Inc., in Seattle, wrote to trade magazine Bicycle Retailer and Industry News to express concerns about the ubiquity of carbon fiber cycling products.

Goss is an admitted carbon cynic. He says flat-out, "Our view has always been that carbon fiber's disadvantages outweigh its supposed advantages."

In the category of food for thought, here's some of what this professional mechanic wrote to his peers in the cycling industry:

---"We are seeing an exponential increase in damaged and broken carbon fiber parts, forks and frames."

---"Carbon should be reserved for race use only. Everyday bikes should be metal."

---"We find it reckless that everyday folks can buy ultralight carbon fiber parts that they assemble themselves and then ride on rough roads."

---"I would say, conservatively, one in 10 [carbon] seatposts is damaged from improper installation."

---"Customers don't like hearing that they need a new handlebar or a fork after a crash."

---"Check out the Busted Carbon blog for JRA [just riding along] broken carbon: http://www.bustedcarbon.com.

---"We have created a web page to educate our customers: http://www.rideyourbike.com/carbonfiber.shtml.

---"Steel trumps all other materials when you factor in durability, repairability and recycleability. It is pleasing to see the industry turning again toward the greenest of all frame materials."
