I’m looking for feedback from bikepackers who’ve used gravel bikes with carbon fiber frames for trips of 10,000 km or more. I’m a little worried about stone chips and/or damage to the carbon frame in the event of an accident. Is it really sturdy? Just like any other material? And if you’ve had an accident abroad, how did you get it repaired? Did you do it yourself or take it to a professional? What do you think of carbon fiber—did it give you peace of mind?

Thanks for feeedback
