>>1653355I've never seen one explode outside of a crash causing one. And in those cases a metal frame would be destroyed also.
>>1653364>There's a reason why old bikes are so beloved, it's because you can buy one that has been completely abvused with dents and scratches and all the scxars of as well lived life and still enjoy it safely today. Whereas you can buy a brand bnew plastic bike, and carbon fiber is plastic, it's polymer resin with some carbon fibres mixed in, a plastic bike can fail catastrophically within hours of you receiving it for no other reason that some part of the moulding process was faulty or the delivery man knocked the box with his knee.So like a weld could fail in a metal bike? Or that the designer fucked up and the frame fails because of stress fracture?
>>1653373>carbon fiber isn't used as a structural part in carsLiterally the only reason it's not used on mainstream cars is because of cost. If they could do it as cheap as aluminium/steel every single car would have carbon fiber frames/subframes/structural parts.
>muh titaniumBetter hope that the titanium has perfect welds.
