"How to break a carbon fork"

well who would have guessed. Jesus this is not what the internet was intended for.

timwilkey · 17th December 2008

The alloy crown of he fork was corroded to hell, the rest of the guy's bike was worn out, he kept the few bits that weren't, we had to break them before binning them so someone didn't take them out the bin & try putting them on a bike.

badtmy · 17th December 2008

hmmm... now i'm thinking of other ways to destroy carbon forks...

badtmy · 17th December 2008

like a wishbone?

timwilkey · 17th December 2008

I'm not saying I don't like carbon, it's perfectly good for the job it's intended for, wouldn't trust it on one of my own bikes though. My boss snapped his EC90 bars falling off on ice last week, that's a fair bit of money down the drain!

Don't fall off.

Carbon fiber is light => saved grams
saved grams => I can eat more pies

I like pies.

Carbon doesn't have the same multidirectional strength that metals do, it is more like wood in that respect = load it the wrong way and POP

Well that depends on the weave doesn't it?

If you fancy, I can provide anecdotal evidence for not trusting anything that you own.
