Re: Carbon wheels

I know I have an unpopular opinion, but after seeing the carnage from last
year's Banana Belt, I'll never ride carbon wheels in a mass start event. I
saw a guy hit a pothole right in front of me, and his wheel literally folded
90 degrees. While I've broke metal wheels, I've never broke them like that.

Like the original poster, I'm close to 200 lbs. Sometimes being big means
you shouldn't ride all the trick stuff out there.
