How did a cracked frame end up with an image of a guy hanging out of his shorts??

 

 

Anyway, Mr Prez to shame- the Spear

Snap...crackle...pop!

 

The stress intensity factor is estimated for a circular crack associated with a spherical particle subjected to thermoelastic stress field. It is shown that the stress intensity factor is a function of particle size, elastic and fracture properties of the two phases and preexisting crack length. Spontaneous matrix cracking will occur when the particle size exceeds critical value Dc. Close agreement between calculated and measured value for Dc is obtained. The model is applicable to all particulate composites where there is volume increase of a particle induced either by phase transformation or thermal expansion mismatch (αm >αp). The results of the present analysis fit very well the observations made on spontaneouscracking of a single phase materials possessing thermal expansion anisotropy or two phase materials possessing thermal expansion mismatch.

 

uh, yeah totally. :huh:

I know what you mean. That always happens when you build a frame out of rice crispies.

This be the hub..... Nothing stays on topic neither does it stay relevant for very long....

 

The first lesson is free. No need to thank ;)

Pleased my bikes are not plastic.Got a nice new road bike for my birthday and the seatpost is carbon FSA

I *** myself everytime I loosen or tighten it

When working with carbon bits the most important tool is a...torque wrench! Don't just swing on the allen keys like a monkey or you will cry sooner or later.

 

Yeah I know.I am pretty good at judging tightness but I am buying one just in case

I am amazed at the difference in prices LBS here sells a PRO for 1.2K

I just choked

I can get one in RSA for R550
