And what you say about carbon is absolutely right: It can sustain damage invisible to the naked eye. And, when something carbon fails, it usually does so without warning.Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-70443578144531839472013-09-07T03:08:02.188-07:002013-09-07T03:08:02.188-07:00I will tell you that I do not use nor like any fra...I will tell you that I do not use nor like any frame other than STEEL. All of my bikes are steel framed. I do a lot of hills and steel climbs better. The thing with carbon is you can do a minor crash and it all looks ok but there may be cracks that will let loose at the worst time. Then your looking good in your 3 piece bike as 9 of the 18 wheels behind you say HOWDY!Gun Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303399252383909177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-24865601599767346202013-09-07T03:03:29.207-07:002013-09-07T03:03:29.207-07:00I had a Davidson that I had an original Specialize...I had a Davidson that I had an original Specialized Tri-Spoke that I got USED from a friend after I started racing in Time Trials. I used it almost everyday except at Como Street. I had put close to 30,000 miles on it, I sold the bike with it as I wanted the new lighter versions.<br /><br />I never had one come undone, but I don't go stump jumping with them.Gun Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303399252383909177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-21308017337559605822013-05-04T09:01:22.184-07:002013-05-04T09:01:22.184-07:00Steve--I hope the manufacturer replaces it.
