Planet X Pro Carbon Owners

I will just start with, what a revelation carbon frames are!!!

Anyway, just to be sure, should there be a ridge down the chain stays, and the seat stays? Or should these be perfectly round?

 

[RitchieJoe]

which one did you buy?

 

[PhilDawson8270]

Pro Carbon, they do look very intentional.

Both symmetrical on left and right chain stays, and symmetrical on left and right seat stays. So I think it's design.

But, you know how it is when you have a new frame, and notice different things about it.

 

[PhilDawson8270]

Photos seem to confirm that it is by design

I am quite a worrier

Yes, mine has the channel in the seat/chainstays. It is normal!
Hope you enjoy the bike mate.

I just wandered off to the kitchen and discovered something new about my Pro Carbon! Perhaps they're contagious. I've got them too!

Oh I love it.

The difference in how smooth they ride on rougher roads, is night and day with aluminium frames. I never believed it, but carbon is pretty awesome!

Try steel!

I've got them too. Can't say I've ever noticed them before, but then I don't go about fondling my chain stays (not that I'm suggesting that the OP did of course ).

I have just wandered into my office and had a look. I'd never noticed them before.

It's carbon, I can't stop fondling it

Try titanium, its even smoother on rough roads

 

[mr_s81]

In my experience, I think my cannondale supersix carbon frame dampens vibrations better than my px road pro ti. Not much in it mind, but even in spite of the 40mm deep rims, I think the cannondale in slightly better.

I will never try titanium!

(Mainly because I will end up with less money)

Does a frame exist where, if you buy it, you will end up with more money..?
