[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1982718, member: 4191"] Bingo! Many times folks posted in this Forum about how cool to the touch their carbon fiber wraps felt, mistakenly believing this demonstrated cooling efficiency. If you followed the history of owner/user comments, you know this was true. That's probably how the whole fallacy and promotional/sales pitch originated. Proof manufacturing maybe figured this was a gift horse, a gimme. The uniformed kept misinformed by the multitude of believers. When I pointed out their 'slow to warm to touch" delight meant just the opposite, next thing I know, CFW barrel owners started saying the exterior of their barrels warmed up quickly. Pretty humorous. So I then pointed out the obvious, that they'd changed their position, that their CFW barrels now warmed up quickly - even got hot. Suddenly they were irritated and then mad. Just like A/C Guy bringing "mommy may I' into a post. Temper tantrums. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat... [/QUOTE]
