Those tests are kind of pointless without the 500lb+ weight of a bike with a rider on it...Just saying

You should ask AC to post the picture of the BST front rim he had...LOL
 
Thought I had a better pic of it but this is all I can find. But no rim would have lived thought what happen to this bike. lol

That's even worse than the CBR my buddy and I just parted out. His wheels were bent badly too, highside coming on to the front straight at Shannonville.
 
Holy crap! That fork leg is like a twisted tube of wrapping paper! That must have been a sweet crash.

I'm sure the Ministry of Labour would have a fun with this video after seeing the guy perched up high on the racks hanging over without any type of fall arrest system.
 
I've wanted a set for years..now I want a set even more!! But still around $4000 a set is a little pricey.
 
It's not the strength in original, perfect condition components that worries me. It's the weaknesses introduced through nicks and scratches. Carbon is awesome stuff..just inspect it every so often.
