Jeesh, Matt! Hope you're ok, and hope it's just the fork that needs to be replaced. I guess I'd completely overlooked that part of the argument for less-stiff blades, but now it makes sense. Otherwise, I think this might be one of the few places where I disagree with Grant, and believe that

[RBW] Re: Discs versus calipers

The problem with carbon isn't money but heat. Alloy rims and discs operate best when cool, then fade as heat builds up between pad and braking surface on a long descent. Carbon is reversed: They're crap when cold, then come in as heat is generated by high-horsepower F1 cars or MotoGP bikes. A

Re: [RBW] Re: (GIF) Don't know how this can be explained

When I was fast enough to ride in pace lines, I weighed around 190. So when descending, I would pick up too much speed to hold my spot, but simply by sitting up, I would create enough drag to slow down. I found that to be far more effective than braking. The more I sat up, the more I slowed. So
