So, I'm very confused now. Do the engineers here think the wheel is toast? It clearly bent (deformed?), then, though I haven't seen the video of it doing so, bent back.

I've heard these carbon wheels can be cracked, spokes broken, and run over by all but a truck, and still be ridden on.

Again, the carbon wheel is one piece, spokes included, FWIK.

Last year during the Tour de France, a rider hit an abutment at the end of a roundabout, at about 30 mph. His bike (carbon) literally exploded beneath him. He was fine, btw.

But, of course, a carbon frame isn't round, though most now are usually monocoque which helps their resiliency...supposedly.
