Eddy Gordo Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Indeed, i had a few chromo road bikes and they were light. Cant recall the weight or that it was even weighed backed then. But just compared to all the rage alloy years ago, it was close
lechatnoir Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 My carbon EVO weighed 12.5 at the LBS when I took delivery.Stock standard XL size, tubes, no computer, one cage no bottle,Time atac pedals Imagine what the Alu one would have weighed???
lechatnoir Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 X0 is significantly lighter than GX when you include the cassette in the equation, and pedals are also not light. Also - primary benefit of carbon is not weight, it's frame stiffness. .......and there I always thought it was for the bragging rights it's the stiffness that's the bragging right!!
love2fly Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 It's time you get yourself a steel bike so you can feel real ride quality If I'm going to buy a steel bike I shall have to wait for the wagon train to come by my farm to take me to town...that could be as soon as the next three months....
Me rida my bicycle Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 It's time you get yourself a steel bike so you can feel real ride quality I would like a steel frame but a custom built Mercer frame so would have to wait to rob a bank and then wait in line for my turn.
Cippo Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 nevermind the wallet , bank account , Girlfriend is pissed , Bank manager up my ass.. beter be worth the ride heheHKGK. Wait till you get married.
Markellis Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Cool vid comparing strength of carbon Vs alu
