Carbon Copy

Decathlon sell carbon patches to make your cheap bike look like it's carbon. Amazing.

Needless to say I did not buy any.

Are they not to stop cable rub

Soo, take enough patches and glue them together... You'll have a bespoke carbon frame.

Spot on Sir

Interesting. I did not think that abrasion resistance was a strength of carbon fibre. Is it a feature or are carbon patches just cycling bling?

I doubt very much the patches are actually carbon fibre, much more likely they are just a carbon effect.

If you want carbon on the cheap ride behind old petrol car....plenty of carbon from the exhaust....albeit monoxide (or something of that ilk)!
