I am not a fan or defender of carbon. What I am saying is to single out carbon as though it was especially dangerous, above and beyond all other materials, is ludicrous, and if you go by what I see on the forums and message boards, has gone a long way towards destroying Grant's credibility. If it was as uniquely and urgently dangerous as he makes out, you'd think that in a 39 year long career of being actively involved in bicycle clubs and club riding, you'd think I'd have heard of at least one local instance - but no. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
