Absolutely! at least I know there flexing ... whereas with the alloy, I have had it before where it's been bloody difficult to see any bend until stripping them off the car.
At least with a plastic, if it's broke, you know about it

Having said that, never tried the Parma T2 bumper solution, although the carbon c-hubs are a lot more beefy than they used to be as well, so probably the bumper would be fine.

Anyway, on another point, I've finally got round to updating the 417 things to know list on my massively neglected site... I promise I'm going to try and keep it a bit more updated, I've got plenty of setups I need to put up there as well! If anyone's got any other tips, feel free to add them in!

Ed
