I was going to put a dirty comment but it seems someone already beat me to the punch

That`s more flexible than I thought it was possible.

@outlander180 If I was to phuck you that might be expensive ass well!!

@giantbluemarlin Yes carbon breaks, but so does ally, and cromo. People ride an ally frame, break it and say oh maybe i was riding too hard. People ride a carbon frame and break it and say oh maybe I shouldnt have bought carbon. The only break proof frames are scandium and titanium, but fuck me they are expensive.

sounds like Robocop nailing C3PO

[foxdmulder]

sounds like my neighbour drilling his wife

@giantbluemarlin in this case the flexing absorbs the energy which normally would break the frame.

@01sean LOL

@tecnomundos

Is that a good thing? Flex wastes energy.

Sadly, in the REAL world, frames get scratched/gouged, hit by rocks...and break. This fatigue boasting about carbon is irrelevant. Designed specifically to make people think they are MORE durable than alloy. When in the REAL world, they are not. This shows people that the frame will prob not just snap due to normal riding so they part with their cash. But it is this frame alone and not REAL world. Let it fall over, drop a part on it.... Carbon breaks. Ok for racers w new bike each week.
