Obsession with Carbon Fibre

[Kitsune06]

Figured this was as good 'a place as any to put my CFQuestion....

You know how you can pick up 'real' carbon fiber patches for places on your bike that get lots of friction/rubbing (for my poor baby, it's her right chainstay (no chain guard and the quick-fix duct tape is getting brutalized) and for some reason either side of the head tube (probably from leaning the bike when parked)

Would these actually be any good for these applications, or should I just stick with the regular stickers/decals or the lizardskinz chainstay guard?

BTW Light_sabe_r- my best friend in HS had a festiva, and she was SO much fun to ride in. She and my metro "Hi-ho, Geo, away!" had lots of fun 'racing'. Have fun with Fiesty!

I use carbon cages and love them -- they're not a waste in my opinion. Yes, they're a tiny bit lighter, but the real reason I like them is because my bottle stays put -- it won't bounce out of the cage. They're easy to put a bottle into and to pull a bottle out. They don't stretch out like metal cages. And they don't leave icky black marks on my bottles.

ps -- I race on the bumpiest roads in the world -- central valley farm country. I also ride centuries and other endurance events.

Light_sabe_r- this is sorta unrelated, but it's a how-to on a way to turn your car into a hybrid.with the neck-snapping Mazda B6T engine in it. I couldn't resist.

I have this carbon cage and I love it! If it broke, I'd probably die. If I can only have one- it's gonna be a pretty one!

I have two of these on my new bike and I love them. They fit really well on my compact frame and are easy to get my bottles out of.

I ride on some pretty crappy roads and havent had any problems with them yet.
