Zinn is wrong.
ronaldo_jeremiah
Zinn seems to think that these carbon frames can be repaired and made
safe. Ha! It's like he doesn't even know about carbon's unstable,
explosive properties, even in the absence of damage.

so what's wrong with fixing it ? Carbon fibre and glue doesn't work ?

bother; I wasn't really being sarcastic; I'm ignorant - why can't cf
be glued ?
ITIR an Americas Cup boat delaminating and sinking, and believe the
glue is a key component.

Relax Henry, Brad was suggesting that you were being kidded. Brad is one of

Fluff piece or not, at least Calfee has taken on the task of repairing what
most have considered disposable. Will this drum up more biz for Calfee's
repair department? Very likely. Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not.
Anything that can get us away from $3000+ disposable frames is, in my
opinion, a good thing.

Brad has been assimilated by the dark side. Last I saw he was happily
assimilating with 6 of 9.

Last year, after registering on Alibaba.com and communicating with a bunch
of trading companies, I bought a of couple those disposable carbon frames. I
got a Kuota Kredo
copy for the road and a Karbona Neo Track Lite copy for the gerbil wheel.
The road frame, fork, seat post , headset and bottle cages - $360. The track
frame, fork and seat post - $600.
I know, I have to be crazy to by direct from China, the old SOL warranty.
The track frame developed a tiny crack on the back of the seat tube. It's
not getting any bigger, but
I thought I would point it out to the seller anyway. After several emails
and few online chats on Alibaba.com. I received a replacement frame and was
told the replacement has
the same two year warranty. Both of these bicycles ride really nice. If they
break...................when they break, I'll flip a coin to decide whether
to buy again or have RRvelo.com
repair them. I don't possess the incredible power of a Kunich or a Kurgan,
so hopefully they'll last for a while.

Matt, I don't know what's pulling your chain but here's what happened to
me - the carbon fork I had came unglued at the top of one leg while I was
riding. The other leg then simply broke off. The results of this was the I
was riding along and dumped almost face-first onto the ground. The guy
behind me managed to turn sharp enough to avoid running over me but fell
over on top of me breaking a couple of ribs as well.
One minute I was riding along and the next minute I was somehow arguing with
a nurse in the emergency hospital. That was about a month and a half ago.
I'm still having problems with my short term memory. Someone will tell me
something and I can't remember it a couple of minutes later.
This isn't something funny as people here seem to think. What's more, it
clearly could have killed me had there been a rock or some such at the point
where my head struck the ground.
What isn't clear to me is why this appears to be some sort of joke here.

Of course but a helmet on a bicycle in such an accident has essentially no
effect. The very tip of it touched the group protecting absolutely nothing.

Dumbass -
The few functioning brain cells which you possess are a little bit more than
"absolutely nothing", but perhaps we can round off . . . .
OK, let's round off. I agree wholeheartedly. Your helmet protects absolutely
nothing.

Please note the word (if it is indeed a word) was entropic, not
erotic. If it goes erotic, I have to point out that I am 60 years old,
been married for 25 years and could not possibly give you any relevant
advice. Except when in doubt, let them lead.

Kunich are you truly mystified what the joke is? It's you.
No one believes your imaginary story about your imaginary fork and the
imaginary crash that never happened.
You've become a cliche Kunich and it's only out of respect that your
ancestors probably didn't expect such a fuck up in their lineage that
we didn't call it "Kunich" and instead chose "FORKSTRONG"
You're a god damn mess Kunich, a real piece of work.
