Re: Carbon Fiber Vs. Steel
We have used carbon fiber sheets (1/8 inch IIRC) for the past two seasons and carbon fiber tube for the 2011 season. Carbon fiber doesn't take torque loads well but it does do well with compression (the tube) and is very rigid. Be aware, cutting carbon fiber is tricky and we use our water jet sponsor to do it. We drill holes in it with carbide drills and even as heavy duty as they are, we dull them very quickly
