carbon fiber tips of legs peel off and break
Hello
In cold weather and hard ground, the tip of the fiber carbon legs peel off at first, and then they break off. I assumed the new legs are made from carbon fiber.
I do not see what purpose these tips serve but make the landing harder on the frame.
If the tips are removed the legs are flexible and act like a sponge for hard landing.

Here is the photo of the broken tip. You can see it cannot be repaired. I do not mind ordering more of them but I am sure they shall break the same way in the cold air.
You can see where it broke is the weak link for the design.
I remember some place was mentioned that Chris A. had a prototype of these legs made with ''plastic knives". I think that idea is excellent. What the carbon fiber legs without tips provide is a spongy springy landing which is desired.
The tips make the landing much harder.
I could be wrong.
I also did not mean to criticize anyone's design.
