Gappie Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Hey guys I'm looking to buy a ghost HTX Lector which has a carbon fibre frame. Before today I thought that carbon frames was just as strong as the aluminium ones. Problem is; I just had a conversation with someone that told me the carbon frames don't last as long with mountain biking. Is this true?
Zac.A Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Dude, the pro's out there, like the real pro's, World champ level use carbon bikes.Needless to say they hammer them day in day out until they're done. But whatever you do, unless you are in the top 100 in the world, Carbon will be able to withstand it.There could be a freak accident in which carbon would break and alu wouldn't, but really, lighter + stiffer.
MrJacques Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 The pros don't have to pay for their bike if they break. (just stirring, hehe) Carbon can be tougher than alu if it's put together right. The ghost should be plenty tough, it's a German company and they build quality stuff. And you should get a warranty with it too that should cover it accidentally breaking.
