the carbon u/c for the capiche is very strong, I walloped mine on several occasions with no damage.

The best thing to do is take a hack saw to it and trim off say 5 to 10mm from the front edge and save an ounce. It will be a little bit more springy too. Ive done it to my Hype carbon U/C and to another model with carbon U/C with no problems.

Just be carefull cutting and sanding carbon the dust isnt good for your lungs[]
