Carbon Watch: Trek frames go snap, crackle and pop

If you haven’t already, check out this article on Velonews.com about a rash of broken carbon steerers on Trek frames. Trek says the catastrophic failures have more to do with compatibility and installation issues. I’m sure we’ll know more about this later, and I’m trying to keep an open mind. Trek has long been one of the best of the big brands. But I’ll say it again: The pressure to make carbon frames lighter and cheaper on a mass scale worries me.
