Carbon Fiber Vs Steel

Great video showing just how much stronger carbon fiber is over steel.

Very nice video. You not only see the strength, but also the stiffness: The carbon shaft did not twist nearly as much as the steel one.

It does pose another thing though: Due to the increased stiffness the dampng factor is less. Therefore the care needs to be driven with more care (stickshift).
