Can't agree guys...and there's pic's and evidence online to support. Not just "I know a guy" or "I read somewhere" etc.. actual real world examples.
I've seen BST's with hairline cracks, a set shattered into many pieces on minor impact and another with the hub ripped away from the spoke.
MotoGP also banned them as they were not deemed safe for use. Strength comparisons against alloys mean nothing....it's just a talking point.
A weaker material with the correct properties, structure and design for application wins hands down over....but this material is stronger.
Forged alloys for street!
edit: I did lots of research before I forked out $$$$ on rims. I wanted carbon fibre and bought forged alloy (galespeed) and never looked back.
