Tony Foale and Vic Willoughby wrote a book about motorbike design that has probably the best insight into why a single track two-wheeled vehicle (bike) wobbles.

Firstly as the handlebars/forks etc turn (wobble) from side to side the front end of the frame will rise and fall. This can be seen when stationary if kneeling at the side of the bike facing the bike (looking at the head tube top tube) and turning the bars slightly to-and-fro. You should be able to see that the headtube toptube fall slightly 3 or 4 millimetres when the bars are turned left or right and rise as the bars are returned to the centre/staightahead position. In a speedwobble this includes the rider and frame rocking up and down slightly, pivoting about the rear hub.

That was the easy bit to explain. Now for the gyroscopic effect of the front wheel. Take a front wheel hold the ends of the axle in each hand between thumb and index finger now spin the wheel a quickly. Still holding the axle use forefinger of one hand grasp spokes and spin wheel….. easier to do than to describe. You now have a big gyroscope in your hands, try to tilt the wheel to one side the wheel tries to counteract this movement. The gyroscopic effect.

Does this seem complicated? That is because it is.

You have now observed two of the components of the speedwobble. Firstly if the handlebars start to turn away from straight-ahead position then the weight of the rider will act to push down on the frame (standing up or sitting down has no effect on gravity). Secondly the inherent stability (ironically it is the stability of the bike that causes the wobble) of the bike created at speed by the two wheels spinning as gyroscopes create a restorative force that brings the front wheel back to the straightahead position. Unfortunately this restorative force is so great (too much) that it overshoots (over compensates) and takes the handle bars too far to the opposite side. This cyclical (almost pendulum) effect then increases in intensity to produce the speedwobble.

There are steering dampers available for motorbikes.

Nobody makes worse bearings than Truvativ.
Even though the GXP is unique to Truvativ: you can just replace the bearings or get a better complete BB.

The shim/ reducer/ adapter that you already have in the GXP BB can be reused, have a look at : steps 8,9,10 etc you do not need the fancy tools.

"what has the material got to do with this?"
So far the clues are:
Its a bike, carbon and its broken
no pics yet though.

Even in Formula 1 the testing is minimal:

"Hilton believes that F1 regulations should allow for more testing of new components before they make it into the practice sessions.

‘With F1, you have to keep pushing the development of the car,’ he said. ’But over the last couple of years, regulations have greatly restricted testing and that certainly makes it difficult for the teams to introduce new things.’"

Metal Matrix Composite is comparable to CFRP

Untill we see a photo, can we assume this is fiction?

Inflation is inevitable.

The "someone", is it someone that believes that he can hit a golf ball further with expensive carbon fibre shaft golf clubs?

The OP was something to do with the hub going at the same speed as the rim. Which part of the rim?

The hub goes at the same speed as the bike.
However the rim (and tyre) at the ground is going at the same speed as the ground (its either stationary, or it is skiding).

The top of the wheel is travelling at twice the speed of the bike.

If you try to trace out the path off a single point on the rim as the bike moves forward. Something that you can try to do with your finger it is a curious pattern.

For a point on the rim to accelerate from zero to twice the speed of the bike and back to zero each revolution is fairly rapid acceleration.

Incidentaly one of the limiting factors for a 100m sprinter (Usain Bolts for example) is the ability to take the foot from zero (mph) on the track surface to twice the speed of the rest of the runner (approx 60mph).

Look in yellow pages for someone in your are that can clean it and or respray it. Yes the original process of putting a smooth colour finish on leather is to spray it on.

If its the 3 in one silicone stuff (WD40 own 3 in one) then dont bother .

If you triple your rate of pay then it becomes : how many weeks of the year do your really want to work?
Even if you only work half the year what have you lost?

Appart from as mentioned above good credit rating , access to a wider choice of mortages etc

Polished / buffed aluminium alloy will suffer from increased potential for crack propagation, than a shot blasted surface.

I find that dihydrogen oxide causes water retension as well.

Being a labourer with a chain saw is not really comparable to being a treesurgeon / arborist.
Even to be a labourer you might need to have experience of tractor driving etc.

If you want a career in arboriculture:
Merrist Wood College possibly has the best reputation for arboriculture.

The oats in flapjacks are barely cooked.
Eating raw oats is OK once in a while ,but if you eat raw / partly cooked oats a lot you will not feel so great.
Its like eating raw potatoes its a novelty be not good for your insides.

Squirrel curry is OK.
Trap them and then you have to kill them, it is illegal to release them back into the wild. Drowning them is probably illegal as well you must kill them swiftly, airrifle pellet through skull works.

Warfarin

The good paintless dent removal people tend to be busy at car auctions preping the cars there. It is a legitimate trade. But to take dents out you will need to be able to get at the inside of the panel to push the dent out.

Aluminium blocks of petrol engines seem to cope OK.

"Std practice"

Even for steel dropouts it is still easier and neater to hold the dropout in a vice and twist/turn the frame about to do most of the work. Then fine tune with the right tools. Dropout alignment gearhanger alignment.
