Sorry Keith, but if Fab smells that AA on you, he's not gonna let you ride
near him. He's not alone. ;-p

So, tell me. Carbon Fiber and the streets
of Brooklyn. And the occasional *kerchunk*
into a pothole... am I asking for a
disintegration?

I know little of this, but it depends on the weight, wrapping method,
additives to the wrapped CF would it not? I'd look for a 'sturdy' CF over a
cut down racing bike if there is such a thing. What brand you looking at.
The more specifics you have the more a real CF expert could tell you, ism.

If you start using it don't stop! MMI did a study for some of the motorcylce
tire manufacturers. They found that ArmorAll would help avoid dry rot as long
as it was applied regulary after the first application. Otherwise it was better
to use nothing. The difference in time to an unsafe condition wa s only about
5%, if I remember right, between the AA, and not treated tires. It was like 20%
shorter lifespan with one or two treatments with AA then no more.

*** I was afraid of something like that.

Need new michelins, anyway.
