You can’t really recycle carbon, so it’s not great for the environment.
Whats up with peddles dude?
clip is real
Road bike, platform pedals, I’m out
I stick to steel i can pass it on my son and then my grandson and so on EPIC
What if you ride your bike through a fireball (such as say might happen in a pitched battle between warring clans of cyclists with differing pedal affiliations)? Does carbon melt or catch fire? Hey, can you just light a carbon frame? OMG!
言葉はわかりませんがカッコイイです♪
Carbon all the way…
50kg rider on baby smooth roads, it’s carbon. 100kg rider on crappy roads, it’s steel, with loads of carbon. Eees simple no?
I am thinking about developing a 29er Mountain bike to be used like a road riding bike; I prefer bigger tubing for myself as for a roadie. I feel more secure and get more of a solid ride on this type of frame verses the thinner tubing that of a road bike. Is it better to go alloy or Carbon for this type of Mountain bike frame matter of riding? I also would like to keep the total weight of the bike between 21-24lbs. Please explain reasons.
carbon fiber bikes is strong as steel bikes?
The steel is real.
Si potrebbe provare con l’alluminio che costa molto meno del carbonio ed è molto reattivo. L’acciaio molto durevole ma purtroppo va in torsione e non reagisce agli scatti. Il carbonio costa troppo è quanto spacca lo fa di colpo, molto pericoloso.
For a short, zippy training runI’d go for the carbon but for a home/work commute I’d prefer a steel. Top of the heap, highest quality Titanium frame with disc brakes. Lightness and durability.
ive got a carbon road bike and it feels and sounds like thermo plastic used on vaccum cleaner tubes
Will you give me a bike for free MR Rutland
A good chromoly steel frame is very light and the ride is smooth as glass…. nothing better!
Are you a comedian or is this a joke? No semi serious rider ride those kind of pedals. Even a 80 year old lady, on a Sunday trip to the the church, rides clip-less. A traditionalist riding a TIG welded frame, right.
I just knew people would mention the pedals lol, some of you roadies have serious issues.
I have a full carbon road bike, quite highly specced, I ride regularly, do sportives and guess what? I use flat pedals!
Surely the most important thing is enjoying the ride.
Lol at road bike and platform pedals. GTFO
Why not one of each?
Also, steel is fast.
Clipless pedal fans= Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Steel is real, but it isn’t very fast
I just saw a Scott Addict review on flat pedals. I didn’t take any drugs today. I’m confused
no clips?
You don’t need a modern steel frame to have a sub-10kg bike. I used a Columbus SL based frame from 1996 and got a total weight of 9.7kg without even trying. No carbon required.
