He'd have been banned for using something that was illegal.

@Anthony.R.Brown, with regards your "hour attempt"
Elsewhere, you gave your age as 61, birthday in September. Here you're 60. Next month you'd be 62, or 61.
The person who you have said on here who you have to beat, set the record in the 55 - 59 age group. The person in your age group, 60 - 64, went further in the hour.
Doesn't this mean you're chasing the wrong record, regardless of whether you're 60, 61 or 62 next month.

Will you be attempting it on a carbon bike, just as the person who you have to beat did when he set the record.

Corrected the age in edit.

Yeah, that's a legit source. Ambulance chasing nonsense.

'pretty much' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there...

Carbon fork failures probably the worst breakage you can have because of the sudden impact when hitting the floor! ?

Edited, because it matters not a jot the material, a fork breakage is always likely to hurt.

@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.

Frankly, if you're hit by something or hit something hard enough to break the forks like that, the fact your bike is broken isn't going to be the reason for your injuries

Easier said than done. We've all learned in this thread that there's a lot of scientific data that the carbon fibre frame lobby doesn't want you to see.

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

Ooh that 96-99 record looks soft.

I'll go for that in 43 years time.
