cannondale rize broken

[stephmc111]

in my opinion you get what you pay for, cannondale is just a name, that accounts for 90% of the value,

[recumbenttrikesnl]

Is that he Cannondale Vampire?

Amazingly thin carbon. Bad luck.

[KwyjiboIsAnApe]

Thats why their know as crack and fail

[tubenachos]

Thank goodness you were not seriously injured. On another note, this is why I buy steel bikes.

[schlooonginator]

That sucks. I ride a 20 year old steel rocky mountain and from what I've seen with carbon,I less and less wish to have one. Super strong on paper but in the real world gets pierced like paper.

[MrNiicoolaas10]

OUtchaa pas de bol

[mapukmapuk]

fix it with duct tape or wonderglue

[Bayplaces]

oh my god! bummer dude

[Skibumwill3]

t'as juste a remettre un petit bout de carbone enroulé autour et ça va être comme neuf!

[vulva45]

fraud..... u just trying to get a new bike.

[rexppa]

aie aie aie , pas cool le carbone, surtout au prix fort où ils font payer leur cadre!

[borstengleiterONE]

im sorry your baby died. hope you can repair this. carbon rapair is possible. revive him.

[jamiewhatwhat]

I try not to stab my frame with a tree.

[34manifest]

wood best than carbon , jajaj natural fiber !

[djinfrance1]

thats why I stick to alluminium. carbonfiber is really strong but side impacts will kill it. no bike company should guarentee this. sadly carbon is not the perfect material. I would break a carbon frame every year with Where I ride. My alluminium frame just gets dented. Surry for your missfortune

[simondr70]

Canondale autant en aluminium qu'en Carbone réduise l'épaisseur des murs pour alléger le vélo Pour la route c'est le pied mais si t'achète Montagne tu es aussi bien d'opter pour l'alu une leçon qui ta couter 3600.00Eu c'est ça? Retire le bout de bois nettoie l'ouverture avec du solvant et rempli le trou et couvre la partie craquer avec de la colle époxie un bon 2 milimetre et + délimite avec du papier cache pour la peinture et retire le ruban lorsque l'époxie a secher 12hrs avec ventilo .

[coolmikepl]

Merci pour video, c'est ettonant et aussi rigolo, que la branche casse ton carbon.

[flingfready]

you are damn lucky that didn't hit you

[elPedro666]

Reckon it would have dented an ally tube beyond repair too?

[siehmichjetzt]

@elPedro666 doubt it. depends on the wall thickness and the alloy type. Best bet is still good olde steel ...

[edmundscycles]

I've seen 3 Rush 10's come out of boxes with carbon damage . Crack -n-fails are terrible for quality .

[kaban3107]

I can purchase this frame. after how many does sell?

[kaban3107]

I can purchase this frame. how many does sell?

[baambel]

haha dans ton cul lol !!!

[fubarza]

Nice bike but this really sucks, did cannondale replace the frame for you or did you have to replace it for $750? I've got the RZ120-1, aluminium frame though, really nice bike and sad to see something like this :(

[scorpiononaire]

Pretty lucky if you consider that the stick went in the bike not in your body..

[i010524]

That is repairable!

[Gromitdog1]

@i010524 uh????? mind explaining how?  hose clamps and zap straps???

[i010524]

@Gromitdog1 By reapplying new layers of carbon! If search for it, you'll find other cases of broken carbon frames that were repaired.

[SuperWeng10]

i dont get it, while most carbon frame makers, claiming their design, process and materials including the proprietary techniques they used were very stiff, strong and lightweight and so on..

while an accident like these, just a piece of wood can penetrate a Flashy Hi-tech hyper expensive bike..

what happen now to your R&D? this is a real world riding...

[katingaman]

next time buy a wooden frame =D

wood > carbon

[FilippoGatti1991]

@katingaman lol



[hegyimutymuty]

is it made of paper, that a piece of wood could make a hole on it??? :D:D

[erwannbd]

nice accent where u from tolouse lol.

[Max2009Foda]

SO SAD

[speedoptics]

connonquedale (french humor)

[hempoilsoldier]

carbon sucks dick

[s4ks4k]

Warranty worked? Got one back for free?

[c6h6x]

just a front triangle for 750$ proposed by cannondale

[FilippoGatti1991]

@s4ks4k The warranty doesn't work if you crash in a tree...

[TalrenElae]

Oh putain ! Ça donne vraiment pas envie de passer au carbone.

C'est bien dommage car le Rize est une belle monture, mais voir le cadre dans cet état c'est pas rassurant.

J'espère que tu pourras t'arranger avec ton vendeur.

Bon ride !

[malabou75]

@TalrenElae

Mouai, c'est vraiment moche. Ma Super Six est casse et sera remplace sous guarantie.. Plus de trois mois sens velo et toujours rien recu. Cannondale est vraiment con. Sens soucis avec mon aluminum de presque dix ans.

[wzc1988]

Sigh... downfall of carbon.  REYNOLDS 853 FTW!!!

[timewillprove]

This is a heartbreaking sight. A ruined Cannondale.

[SCARSAC]

man thats sucks dude sorry

[brows141]

c6h6x you must explain how this happened. It is possible that you had this in your bike rack on your car and backed into a tree. Please some details.

[c6h6x]

I am going to try to explain how was happend.

Before excuse for my poor english. I'm from south of france.

I was ridding with my new rize 3 mounth old, on a down single track, pehaps 30 km/h, there was a piece of tree on the floor approx. 40cm long and 7cm diametre, how it was on the middle of the single, can't escape it. After the front weel passed, i felt an impact on my bike and the piece of wood passed betwen the fork and the tire whats nearly stop me. after stopping the horror view.

[alberto7443]

@c6h6x Titanium forever

[OFFENSIVEWORDS]

@c6h6x at least the branch didn't go through your leg or something.

[mountaineerfan05]

How did this occur?

[loydabmx]

Is that a piece of wood stuck in the Carbon frame??

[c6h6x]

yes
