    Of course that site comes up in a conversation about Carbon frames. What is so wrong with being informed? I don't think you should view it as an attack on those who own, ride, and operate carbon frames. Let alone those who "bunny hop". People ask for opinions on these boards and I try my best to share the wisdom that "I" hold dear.

    Also a decent part of that site's content isn't wreck breakage. I don't think I said carbon frames always fail, just that "I" don't trust them. Also, I always follow my mother's old adage: "Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD."

    I could bunny hop the daylights out of my touring bikes if I so chose, but "I" don't want to. You and whoever else can bunny hop their carbon, steel, aluminum, scandium, titanium and the like, to their heart's content. I consider posting here a friendly exercise in sharing - and I leave you with a tiny tidbit of wisdom. (Elie Wiesel: "Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.")
