I have an innate paranoia of riding and pushing down on carbon, anything. I had some carbon handlebars break last year on me. Went back to Aluminum and use a Profile Design Lava OS.
Be that as it may....
1. Is it currently advisable to put a clip on aero bar or slam bar with a carbon stem being used. My Easton EA 70 stem is 130mm. I'm debating about getting a carbon stem, but afraid the tolerance from a clip on aero bar would break a carbon stem.
2. Same question for pedals. Are carbon pedals reliable, such as the Look CX6 one, whether the cro moly spindle or titanium.
3. Shoe question. What's the best bike shoe to buy, which you can keep on the pedals and quickly get out of T-1 on, WHILE, at the same time, it could be a shoe, not so loosy, goosey, strappy, you could take for long bike rides with roadies.
