I put a pretty good scratch in my seatpost last week (don't ask). It's definitely through the finish and into the material (I can see silver and feel it with my fingernail). It's on my Specialized Roubaix, post is described as "carbon wrapped".
Should I be worried about riding on it? I've heard horror stories about carbon giving way with the slightest scuff/scratch, but I'm assuming that "carbon wrapped" means there is some kind of alloy under the carbon?
