Why Not Carbon Fiber Thru-Axles?
Don't know of anyone doing this...yet. Why not? Seems like it would be relatively simple and at least 1/2 the weight of the lightest metal version?

I can see the carbon tube just like a fork steerer as the thru axle. One end can be moulded with continuous fibers as the stop. The other end can have an aluminum threaded insert epoxied inside. Why not?
