  1. nahh its fine! :) this happened to me recently. i had to change my cranks the other week so if you had to change yours it should be the same thing. all i did was without taking the crank off i just put some grease on it and then ride my bike round then put some more on then it was fine after that

    hope this helps :)

  2. i will get some samples of carbon sheets tmz and do some test for you guys here :D it is very very strong stuff put together correctly.

    i say if you want to trust in carbon bike frames its not all about the material it about the prosess they use when building, testing and designing the frames.

    i can list a few companys whom i would never buy carbon frames from

    cannondale ie crack n fail

    lapierre ie crackierre

    whyte ie thats the colour of the filler they use .

    x lite handle bars cracked from new

    kenesis has anyone even looked at there carbon seat stays, just no

    i have seen snaps in all of these.

    but that doesnt mean all will snap. just saying i havent yet seen

    a giant carbon snapped but thats the only company i know of making there own carbon weave from carbon on reels.not prepreg or wetlay ect..

    if made properly, i cant see why bike companys cannot suppy a raw frame cut in half as a show frame to let the customer see what there buying into. if this were law i think a lot of carbon bike would have never been sold.

    haha maybe i should warn my mate he has a fully carbon cannondale

  3. right ok so i've got some echo SL forks. As i've heard they have more crack than whitney houston. i.e they snap a lot.

    if you've ever owned some.. where do they go? also heard its the sl's with maggys on that snap... this true?

    i use disc onlys, i dont do gaps to front, I will be doing hooks though. and bounces on the front and footjams.

    any one??

    ahh man i want some of these so bad so im gonna watch this to see reviews :)
