Hi To All, thinking of moving to a carbon frame and forks, anything else you could advise on. I weigh about 15 1/2 stone so wondering if the carbon frames will hold up - or should I stick to an alli frame, any advice would be greatly appreciated, I don't race or TT, wondering if anyone has has any issues with carbon. I put a post on earlier but think I wasn't specific enough. Thanks to all and thanks for the use of the site Paul.

    Hi Ya Fozzy any creekin or flexin, I see the bottom bracket is massive so it soaks up all of that, my "hack" has Shimano on and I think the 2011 carbons use 105 so can swop the wheels over and put the Planet x carbons on, and put the Aksiums on the Hack - Thanks mate and take care Paul.
