Easier to wait if he's about to break 60. Although, as you say conflicting info has been posted. i think he said he's broken the 60-64 record on the road on his mam's butchers bike, so it wouldn't be a challenge

And if he breaks the record of Kevin Metcalfe, set at altitude, it won't count. Wrong age group.

The problem with CF seems to be anecdotal postings on this new interweb thingy. A mate of a mate of mine said his friends bike disintegrated when it rained. Never happened back in the days where everyone was on steel.

They rusted

@Anthony.R.Brown Please stop posting misinformation. In what context did those forks break? I can guarantee the vast majority of the pictures in this thread where carbon has failed are from severe impact damage. The injuries any rider has suffered would be the same whatever the frame material.
If you want to post about the dangers of carbon please show us some scientific data not anecdotal rubbish that supports your false narrative.

What vital carbon spares ?

Silencing the truth ?

Are you feeling ok ?

Just as I said there is more than a conspiracy regarding hiding the facts about Carbon failures within the Cycling industries,they want Carbon to replace everything! ?

Aluminum Road Bikes with Mechanical Shifting and Rim Brakes Are Officially Dead...

And you've claimed that you were ahead of the rest when you made a frame out of fibreglass. This despite it already having been done.

Did your fibreglass frame last, or does it explain why you don't like carbon fibre frames?

Have you actually read this? Having skim read it, it is simply a paper showing stress tests of ud composites in certain uses. Not cycling frames. It specifically refers to high pressure uses and high long-term stress uses in construction. It certainly doesn't condemn CF as a material. It seems to be more interested in creep failures over an extended period, not sudden catastrophic failures of bicycle frames that you insist is a problem. There are plenty of similar papers on materials used commercially. If you want I can show you papers showing stress failures in steel, aluminium and titanium. However that would not suit the narrative would it......

Stop shouting!

Why have we moved onto earthquakes now?
"Structural failure of piles passing through liquefiable soils has been observed in many of the recent strong earthquakes."

Conspiracy theorists simply ignore anything that gets in the way of their claims.

Study explains strength gap between graphene, carbon fiber

Carbon fiber, a pillar of strength in materials manufacturing for decades, isn't as good as it could be ?

Not sure they read what they post either. 🤣

Steel is better now than it was due to research , don't you think other materials should get the same consideration?

For sure! the problem is while the bike manufacturers can still sell and increase their sales,then they will keep selling to the public regardless!
