Vibrations are a real concern for me.
From the manufacturer, they are guaranteed to 9,000 RPM. However, they say users should have no issues up to 11,000 RPM, but they can't guarantee it.

For Velox, are there any distinct advantages of this carbon shaft over the existing solutions on the market, aside from your published testing info that is?
The major takeaways:

-Doesn't interfere with short shifters
-Extremely high-end materials and manufacturing techniques
-Frequency balanced, which results in a superior balanced shaft
-I believe these may be the lightest on the market
-7075 cold forged ends vs 6061-T6 which is more standard

Thanks,
