>>1421285for so long as water and salt can be kept away from the bonded interfaces between metal and carbon
special care should be taken for internal cable cable housing routing
or for any kind of hole in the tubing
some hydrophobic coating that does not negatively effect epoxy may help
maybe this will be something that is done in the future
for now some other wax and more basic water proofing and making sure the bike is dried out fully when stored
>last?depends on how under spec the frame is vs how fat / strong the rider is
there are some carbon frames from 30 years ago that were worn out by heavy riders
but I can use them with no problem or massive flex because I'm a midget, and the really bad frames failed early in their life span
still there is the problem that the glue must be kept dry and cool in order to hold all the layers and parts together
