Carbon Fibre Bike Frames… 'What No One Is Telling You'
« on: 28 February, 2023, 11:43:17 am »
Interesting YT vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXIpU92mTwI  others related too, such as cutting thru frames by way of comparison.

I don't have any carbon bikes, but if I was ever tempted by a pre-owned one - would certainly avoid certain features.  eg. carbon QR dropouts which apparently abrade quickly .

We?  Scaremongering? ;)   The 'inexpensive' carbon frame cut apart in one vid was interesting.  Mainly good, but something only being as good as the weakest part does seem valid - fork crown carbon thickness in that case.

65% bollocks, 35% interesting, and directed solely at competition frames (and of course wannabe or sportif frames).
