patches Posted July 27, 2012 Share Don't let TheV hear me say this, but one of my bikes is carbon (I would have preferred alu, especially seeing as how ot's an AM rig)... but I must say I'm pretty impressed by the Crackendale! Wez-O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouxtjie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Do it...streetcred points goes up by 10 million To be honest, modern alu frames aren't that much lighter but the stiffness in the carbon is the big + Pic on couch when you get it please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted July 27, 2012 Share I have also been seriously considering a certain carbon frame and what I really like is that should something go wrong it is easy to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burries Posted July 27, 2012 Share Carbon for sure. They can be pushed a lot harder and they are much more responsive and also eliminates smaller vibrations, but get something with a proper warrantee etc. eg. Specialized if you can afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingalton Posted July 27, 2012 Share Take a look at this, a test video, which shows how much stronger Carbon (SantaCruz) bikes are compared to Alu bikes. Pretty impressive http://www.pinkbike.com/video/243228/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
