Hello,
I was considering a new mountain bike--either a trek Remedy, or a Trek Fuel EX.
Now, each of these has a version made with a carbon fiber frame--they call it OCLV Red Carbon; their best type.
I've heard that carbon fiber on a bike can be bad if you suffer an impact, though it'd be nice to have a lighter bike.
Thoughts? Can I trust Trek's carbon mountainbikes?
@M V: yeah, I don't really crash that often-if at all-but I was just worried about the potential for hidden catastrophic failure points.
I am leaning towards the carbon, I think ahha
