Are BST Carbon Fiber wheels safe to use?
Despite the many internet myths, BST carbon fiber wheels are completely safe for the street or the track. Carbon fiber is an extremely robust material – even if you somehow succeed in damaging the wheel, the damage will not propogate while riding. To demonstrate the strength of a BST carbon fiber wheel, Race Applications Monaco (RAM) applied a 10,000 Newton stress test – that’s enough energy to move 22,000 lbs about 3 ft. in a second. You can see from RAM’s BST Stress Test results that the wheel was hardly damaged.
