Never ridden carbon but did
Never ridden carbon but did do a sportive in February on my training fulcrums with a 25mph wind, at times it was a little scary especially as you got tired. Personally after that experience i wouldn’t.

Post it on youtube and then
Post it on youtube and then find the twitter account for your local Plod & newspaper. Plod seems keen on social media these days especially f they get some heat from the media. They may even come to you but i doubt it.

Carbon doesn’t fatigue like
Carbon doesn’t fatigue like metals so over the life span of two identical frames one made from carbon the other from steel the Carbon frame could technically go on forever where as the steel tubes will fail. Only problem with that is we don’t live in a test lab.

Personally I think the likely hood of a frame dieing from old age is tiny compared the the likely hood of a crash destroying a frame. Most mechanicals failures fall into 2 categories 1)bad design 2)pushing the mechanism beyond it’s design limits.

The cassette is a 10 speed
The cassette is a 10 speed ultegra with a new ultegra chain. Had a look at the bike this morning couldn’t see anything obviously wrong. I have adjusted the B-screw slightly to bring it closer to the cassette.

Could the chain be to long? It’s the same length as the old one but i change cassettes occasionally from a 11-25 to a 11-28 (i think it is anyway its what came on the bike) . I’ve been running it for months without issue. The rear derailure looks in the right position when in the middle of the cassette.

I’m doing a sportive tomorrow and i think they have mechanic support think i will ask them what they think.

Cheers for the replies.
