boy, I'm damn glad I sold off all of my carbon forks. When you can
only have the factory stem installed without risking failure, the bike
mfgers have gone beyond the necessary safety margins which should be
designed into their products. Hopefully none of the related crashes
resulted in any
It seems the racing bikes of today have become very delcate
instruments designed only for smooth roads and sunny days while
requiring torque wrenches for every part and kid gloves. ;-)
I'm glad my Riv can take the stupid amount of abuse I give it.

...But seriously, we literally trust our lives to steerers and forks
in general. Imagine if one of these riders had gone down on a fast
decent at 40+ mph. Would you trust your life to a component this
apparently fragile ?
