Thanks for your explanation. Seriously. I'll definitely try it and thank you in general for sharing the issue you had in your original thread.

You are absolutely right. Although, if I didn't read the original thread, I might have ordered the carbon checkpoint without even thinking about the IsoSpeed. After that thread, especially, after realizing that there were at least two people complaining about IsoSpeed there, I was simply started researching alloy and other alternatives.
With all the positive experiences in this thread, I realized that I have to try both and see it myself. This involves extra time, traveling to find a bike in my area, etc. Hence the reason for the thread. I do think that it might be useful to others in the future.
