World’s First One-Piece, 100% Carbon Fiber Wheels
100% Carbon Fiber Wheels!!!

They look cool.... They would be super light weight..... But would the be safe?

What do you think?

bike frams and wheels have been using it for years with no problems. Most of the time in a bike crash if the carbonfiber frame breaks it was a bad enough crash that an aluminum frame would have bent/cracked as well. The finish does it ruined easier tho from small rocks and such.

I'm confused... does that mean they will, or will not, get chipped?
