Endo Vs. Carbon

BUY LUGGED STEEL FRAMES AND FORKS!!!

In what may be karmic retribution for killing a
slow moving pigeon yesterday and getting yelled
at by a ped today, I took an endo (more a side-o)
about 25 miles into a ride today.

After brushing myself off, I pulled out the multi-tool
and straightened out the stem and gave the bike
a visual once over. It looks OK except for maybe
a mis-alligned rear derailleur. It shifts fine though.

I've always been a little nervous about carbon forks
and frames, fearing a failure at high speeds. Is there
anything I should/can do to ensure the integrity of
the bike at this point?

TIA.

Assuming that you did not impact with a object than I would say you
are safe. If not then inspect for scratches or deap gouges.

Not because I'm anti-carbon, though.

I can't remember if I like you or not.
Remind me?

No one likes Phillip. His own dog won't even hump his leg.
