    I think that is where you score a big fail. Also I would have a guess that a commercial aircraft is slightly more tested than most carbon MTB frames!

    Actualy, its probably the other way arround……….

    The aircraft will undergo a lot of FEA etc and individual components may be tested to validate the FEA modeling. But a prototype airliner is invaluable, dont’t think you’d get to actualy break it.

    Whereas bike manufacturers will hapllily leave a frame on the test rig untill it fails as it’s only cost them a few hundred, or maybe thousands of, dollars. On-one even showed how many cycles beyond the CEN tests the carbon forks lasted IIRC?

    I see people with bad nerves after a carbon bike crash. People riding alloy and steel frames don’t seem to be in such a panic after the same light crashes.

    So you admit, it’s a paranoia, not a fact?

    Oh no! These guys are now making unbranded carbon 29er duelly’s.

    Must admit they look great! But I’m a non believer.
