The suicidal squirrel/CF conversation usually turns into a spoke count

Sorry for my part of the disagreement. I agree the exchange felt
neither hostile nor irrational. I have no bad feelings for any of the
posters with whom I expressed disagreement. I'll bow out as well.

Grant is getting at when he says steel is repairable is that it's
possible to do a functional (albeit in some cases ugly) field repair

Okay, so carbon bashing is done...I say we morph this topic into
something more useful, or at least more cathartic for all involved--
how about strangest or most bizarre component failure of any kind

I think you are locking in on a semantic argument that is not Grant's
main focus. When Grant states the carbon is not repairable, I think
Grant is talking mainly about the catastrophic failures that only
carbon can and does exhibit. Like when the headtube breaks off from
the top tube and
Wow, I'm trying to comply with Jim's request that we end this thing.
All I can say is you appear to be mixing apples and oranges. IF
Grant's concern is about carbon breaking catastrophically and causing
death and destruction, then he ought to say that. That's his opinion
and I have no problem with

Grant's most recent Riv News (March 6th, 2010) was identified as a

a response directly to you. In that
I've been hesitant to join the fray because I'd really like this
entire thread to wind down. We all come to this forum because we
appreciate the form and function of lugged steel bikes that are built
with recreational / utility riders in mind. I personally do not enjoy

Sorry I take it back.I did not mean to imply YOU are tasteless,
rather the picture itself is tasteless I guess. I'm not sure what I
mean. I just don't need to see photo evidence of someone's anecdotal
encounter with a hapless squirrel.
Sorry, I'll shouldn't have commented.

Looks like somebody traded in their fork for a hat and some stew.

As for the carbon fork breaking on impact with the rodent's body, I'm
less surprised at that than I have been on hearing other stories of
carbon forks breaking (i.e. riding over a small branch in the road
@8mph, etc.).
You gotta figure, if
that being said, steel certainly wouldnt've done that,
