NotSoBigBen Posted July 31, 2009 Share Just wondering how many of you that have changed from one type of MTB frame material to another (comparing apples with apples i.e. HT to HT etc.) can honestly say you felt a difference in the ride? If you did can you easily describe the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absalon Posted July 31, 2009 Share I found that the carbon frame was alot stiffer but not as nice to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight Weenie Posted July 31, 2009 Share I had a alu frame ht and now a carbont ht. HUGE difference in stiffness, weight and ride quality. Carbon is comfy in vibration absorption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbadugly Posted August 1, 2009 Share I have done the circle and I am back on an aluminum hardtail. I get more bump absorption from a 2.2 tire and a good fork than from a carbon frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
