They have for sure. I spent a lot of time around fighter jets, and composites. When a part was even suspected of any impact or damage it was tossed. We buy and sell used carbon bits all the time, and most of the time it's fine...until it isn't.

Honestly, I was kidding. Breath, breath...

Why share something you don't find useful?

I ride a 1 year old bike with a 60 year old body.

Why didn't you talk about it in this thread?

A thread that's split, duh.

I have drops on the Langster, and that's enough. It would be different if I wasn't turning 60 in December.

Yeah, I'm Gandhi with guns.

My full suspension bike has an alloy frame, and bar, etc. It's still faster than I am.

A bit?

The only thing that bothers me about carbon is buying used from an unknown source.

And moist.

I like the idea of it. I have never used a lockout even though I've owned many. I just never remember to.

Ordered the Super Duty, single.

I think I may be ordering the super duty. My current 2 bike rack has been through a lot.

That looks nice actually.

I have drop bars on my Specialized single speed. They work very well there.

That was beautiful man...

I might take this bike out to Brushy for a day, but it's not going to be a regular occurrence. It's a CX bike, and it has it's place.

This is why I do the various Les Mills classes. Body Pump, Combat and Attack.

So I took the new to me Kona Private Jake out to Walnut today. Did ~11 miles, and crashed twice. I remember why I have a full suspension bike now. It was a lot of fun but I had to unlearn a lot of my lines. Windy was interesting to say the least, and severe tried to OTB me in a couple places. I need to try it with less pressure in the tires also. All in all it was a really fun day, but I prefer my Scalpel out there.

Hope to see you there. I'll be the 60 year old white dude with a shaved head and lots of tattoos. Probably not too hard to spot among all the youngsters.

I prefer too much gear to not enough. Glad I had this on last year when the asshat on the gixxer hit me.

I had electronic suspension on a Ducati Panagale. I love Ohlins but this was more than I needed. Give me the old fashioned set the sag, etc. and I'll be on my way.

I hate laces. My Five Ten flats have those elastic lace things that never need to be tied. They're OK. My SPD shoes have either straps or BOA. I like the BOA system but they seem fragile to me, and I have had issues in the past. So...yea or nay for you?
