I've never crashed a carbon bike, thankfully. Once, I did slam an aluminum Trek at about 40mph but emerged with only a small dent in the TT.
I see pro riders crash in grand tours, get up, and hop back on their bike to continue their screaming descent down some european mountain. I've also heard pro bikers say that frames aren't the thing to worry about upon a crash, but rather the components and wheels.
So it sounds like carbon isn't as fragile as I had made it out to be. But I'm sure some ST'ers have cracked their frames.
How did you do it?
