EZRider Posted August 4, 2009 Share My nephew just got himself a GT Zaskar carbon frame a few months ago and he races it super hard. He is 15 and takes part in all the school and regional XC races and if he hasn't managed to break it yet then they are pretty unbreakable! Mind you, he washes it every day... and it sleeps inside next to his bed... and I think it has some kind of blankie for when it gets cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdeJongh Posted August 4, 2009 Share and it sleeps inside next to his bed...and I think it has some kind of blankie for when it gets cold. Â And whats wrong with this?My Merida sleeps next to my bed as well...mind you, my wife does get this serious frown when I stare at the bike for too long.

tabasco Posted August 5, 2009 Share treat it like you would treat any bicycle, they are tougher then what most people think.  The only people who knock carbon frames are the ones that don't have or have not ridden them. Crabon Rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also races every XC race that comes round and works in a bike shop so it's not like he doens't know how to look after it....  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
