Regarding rod sizing, and this may well be blindingly obvious to all but me, is it acceptable/safe to reduce over size rod by sanding please?

Just a note on carbon in general. there is so called carbon rod or strip around but it is in fact black fiberglass. This does not have near the strength of carbon.
You can check this by sanding the end a bit. If you get grey sanding dust it is glass fiber, black dust is carbon.
Thanks Jilles, one to watch out for!
Chris.

i find a little search on ebay and you can find great deals on carbon rods from china, protruded mostly but if buying in bulk some good competitive prices.
