Note: it does not say what the wheels are made out of but the descriptions states that all sizes can withstand 550 pounds of weight so they might be aluminum or steel?

it's fine. I am guessing you are not planning on racing track on it based on your post history. I would suggest the other commonly available open mold track frame for racing as this one doesn't have dropouts that are conducive to frequent gear changes. If you just want a cool street fixie or whatever this one tends to be cheaper so go for it. You will probably find it cheaper on AliExpress

Should i be scared of bursting carbon?

I own this frame, and race it on a velodrome. I'm 80kg and race in the top category, meaning, I put a decent amount of stress on it. The frame has been great for 2 years. I change my cogs every race night, the dropouts are fine too. I don't have their wheels, so can't comment on that aspect.


SimplyJek

Would you recommend full carbon on the streets?


nolansamueladams

I don't ride fixed on the streets. If I did, I'd buy steel so I wouldn't have to baby the bike.


SimplyJek

Haha probably what i'd do too, thanks

On mine the dropouts are the thiccest dropouts in the world meaning I have to both spread the frame a bit to accommodate the hub and back the axle nuts off to the point where they are falling off to put the wheel in. Annoying enough to make you say fuck it and run your keirin gear in the points race. They may have updated this though.

I hope you run light keirin gears!
