meeste aluminium rame het nou carbon vurke , seat & chain stays. dink julle dat alles oor 5 jaar carbon gaan wees? dan gaan daar rerig nie plek v my ou Le Jeune wees nie.

ek ry net fiets om dit te geniet, en nie veel belang in al die hoe ha en "regte" maak fiets nie. op growwe teerpad voel my rug net baie gemakliker met n carbon frame as met aluminium. dis my opinie, en dit werk vir my, so ek is happy daarmee. maar ek stem saam johan, dat bemarking n groot rol in alles wat met fietse te doen het speel.

nee johan, darem nie so dom nie. dit is net nog n opinie, soos almal hul opinies gee

ons gaan mekaar tog nie oortuig nie. hier iets wat ek gegoogle het. Carbon as a material is pretty amazing. Basically, it?s similar to a piece of cloth impregnated with glue. There are lots of different thread variations out there, but the molecular carbon basis is the same. Differences can be how the carbon is made, how they are actually assembling or ?laying up? the frame and who is assembling them. Some carbon frames can take up to 48 hours to hand lay. The size and shape of the tubes are determined by the manufacturer. Because carbon is a fabric, it can be formed into virtually any shape. This allows manufacturers to create some wild shapes in the tubes. This is one of the ways each manufacturer can differentiate their products and add stiffness or compliance where a common tube couldn?t. The ride characteristics of a carbon frame are determined by the manufacturer?s geometry and how they lay the carbon fiber cloth. Different directions and different amounts of carbon can create a completely different ride. One thing that is generally said about carbon is that gives an almost ?air? type quality to the ride. This ?air? feel is the carbon dampening high frequency road vibration. This doesn?t necessarily mean the frame is soft like titanium. In fact, it?s generally the opposite, but the vibration from the road doesn?t make it through the frame to the rider. A good example of this would be to take a tube and smack it on a square edge. Unlike a steel, titanium or aluminum tube that would ring through your hand, the vibration in the carbon tube is deadened.

www.cyclingnews.com review of the pinarello F4:13 The flipside to this, of course, is that the bike does not feel very forgiving. My experience is that, in general, a stiff carbon bike will still be more comfortable than a stiff aluminium bike. Carbon frames and forks generally damp a bit more vibration, while remaining fairly stiff and light. However, of all the test bikes I've had the pleasure to ride in the past few years, this was the most demanding physically. I didn't feel as though I'd been put through the ringer or left jarred by the experience after a ride, but my hands and arms did let me know that they were doing a bit more than usual to soak up the bumps.

johan, ek glo verseker dat jy baie van fietse af weet, maar glo dit of nie, carbon gee n sagter rit, iemand wat nie rug probleem het nie, sal dit nie agter kom nie.

na n rugoperasie (lae rug) is dit nogals erg op n aluminium raam as dit n 100 km reis is. is n harde rit! het net n vriend se carbon fiets gery, en dit was sagter en hemels vir my rug.so oor watter 1 die beste is sal ons mekaar nie kan oortuig nie, maar met n rug probleem sal ek al my bonus opgee vir n carbon frame!

raynard was the winner of SA Ironman 2005, 2nd in 2006,2007

don't know the true story,but he is now being sponsored by action cycles/cervelo.

Raynard Tissink is changing from Scott plasma to the 2008 Cervelo P3 Carbon.

ek dog ek dan gecharge vir reis as ek dit voor die begin drink! geen wonder ek bly net so vinnig soos n skilpad nie.

dankie Racing Hart dit maak sin, want ek maak my energade te sterk aan,wil mos he dat dit soos koeldrank smaak!!!!! en ek suig al gu's nog voor ek my fiets is. kon al n fortein aan gu's gespaar het.

vir n 107 km reis van 3.5 ure gebruik ek die volgende: 2 x 750 ml energade mengsel en 3 sakkies vooma's. 1ste vooma net voor reis, 2de op halfpad en 3de op 90 km wanneer ek moertoe is! wat is julle resep? en n vraag en die vinnige ouens hier wat dit in 2.5 ure doen. so jul tye dieselfde gewees het as jy net skoon water in jou bottels gehad het?

bored girl, did shifting your saddle forward help with pain in hip bones? i get it as well.

sal maar die onderste deel van handle bars los vir die pro's. of mangels moet waai om plek te maak!
