How long should a carbon frame last


Vetseun

Recommended Posts

OK lets have some opinions. After how many years is it time to start considering replacing a carbon MTB frame. During those long hours in the saddle we have had some interesting conversations on this topic.

MTB: I'll ride mine till it breaks, or till I find the need for an upgrade.

Don't think I'll ever replace it because of age.

 

 

My roadbike I plan on riding for ages, unless I win the lotto(which i don't play). The frame and groupset is light enough for sub 7kg, so I will never have the need to upgrade or anything.

Ha ha bring it!!!! My roadbike is around 7kg and I'm 96kg. Never had one problem so far. But I imagine a carbon mtb with all the abuse it takes maybe 2 years if you're lucky.

Ok now you asked for it, all you people that make a joke of da agent.

You choose the mountain. The agent is puting his skinsuit on (size xs) and then he is going to time trial up the mountain.Da agent will wait at da top for yo'all.

Contador fears da agent in the mountains and that is after he has taken his steroids.

Judging by your picture the first big rock you hit should pretty much trash it.... ;)

Contador takes roids, the agent relies on natural talent as well as a healthy diet :clap:
