Any thoughts /n/ ? I know, I know, carbon (or any other frame material) should never experiment such stress and this is probably some superlight frame but though... doesn't it shatter a bit easily ?

According to his Instagram he had crashed moments ago at 38mph, so the frame integrity was compromised. Not that it excuses his childish behavior.

If he had been riding a Surly Pacer he probably would have won the race.

That's probably a ~700g carbon frame. Try that with a 700g steel or aluminum frame and the same thing is probably going to happen.

What do guys think of those new carbon frames with a flexible top of the downtube because "who need carbon here ?" ? Am i the one finding them spooky as fuck ?

i wouldn't say it's childish but it's my opinion.

My dad has a cannondale scalpel with carbon chainstays that are designed to flex A LOT. They are attached to a small suspension thinger.

It's very spoopy
