@willianb.6475 4 года назад

By having working with composite before , I can state that this video is well made and has showed the correct basics of composite production. Composite manufacturing is pure art, if you have designed, simulated, tested and guaranteed that both layup and curing process is correct. Your product will perform as intended.... and that’s why we have so much bad carbon frames around. 🥺

The dealer completed the bike with all LOOK carbon fiber handle bars, bottle holders, rims, etc. it’s a masterpiece of a bike to which I still have today in fabulous condition. I made sure to keep the frame from being marred. Original final cost to me was $9,000. Well worth it too. Colors are red faded in a white. Fabulous bike!

Frazer Goodwin my concern is how much are they paying workers? It’s clear that bike manufacturing is a complicated process but it’s also clear how over inflated the bike industry is. So yes appreciate your carbon bike but appreciate that is was made by a migrant worker getting paid very little.

@@rc420r Materials cost for carbon frames are between $20 and $50, finished manufacturing cost around $300 to $600. The rest is marketing including sponsorship (divide the salaries of the Sky team by the number of F10 sold and it comes to nice added sum) and distribution margins (everyone involved has to make a living Brand, importer, store...).

From a company of that particular size i would expect a better protection of the workers ! Carbon fiber dust must not be taken light minded. Studies clearly show that this material is not inert and may cause serious harm to your lungs. I see people without masks sanding and grinding the bikes. If i were LOOK i would not show this footage to anyone...

@bpeterson7227 5 лет назад

Good point. Machining carbon composites is horrible for human health and it's extremely difficult to contain the dust

@mq1506 5 лет назад

They are using down draft tables but they should still be wearing better masks than those disposable ones.

@easyx9mm 5 лет назад

Oliver Dieball Agree, that’s first think I noticed! Bikes are build in a country where nobody cares about safety, apparently. Bean counters at Look would have to add cost of 😷 to their bikes.

@berthull9333 5 лет назад

Oliver Dieball, carbon fiber actually is inert. But you are correct that the workers should be using breathing protection such as N95 or better masks or ventillators, at least in the sanding and finishing areas of the plant. The danger is not chemical but rather mechanical, as the fine dust is harmful to the insides of your lungs, in a similar way that asbestos dust is harmful when inhaled. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1878535214003360

Being proud of someone who clearcoats for (hopefully) 8h a day without a mask is just beautiful. Gotta love the corporate communications

I was wondering samething.... and Look answered in weird way... make labors more proud in Look working area

@LuescherTeknik 5 лет назад

Quite a few errors in this, for example around 13 minutes when Ollie talks about putting the frame in the massive oven to cure the resin and remove air voids......after the frame has been cured in the previous step incorrectly called debulking. The next bike that I will do a cut up and review video over at my channel is a LOOK 695, stay tuned.

@Tom W I also have a few choice terms for Luescher's knowledge and work. Mine would be "highly knowledgeable" highly professional" "not swayed by marketing BS" "A rare combination of deep understanding of both advanced composites and bicycle technology"...

GCN, I don't think that quite right about Greg LeMonds bike that you showed . The bike he won the 86 tour on was Reynolds 753 , cos he's got it at home.👍

@reginaldscot165 5 лет назад

Mark Booth nice fact check 👍🏻

@ChristopherForsyth 5 лет назад

Did the riders just use one frame back then, and not several over the course of three weeks, as today? Perhaps both are correct.

@vernonbear 5 лет назад

Might have used the carbon fibre one on a special stage or team time trial. He may very well have crossed the line on a 753 and done the majority of the stages on it.

@Chalky. 5 лет назад

I'd honestly be more interested in seeing how those £300 Chinese carbon frames are made.

@ryankraft9897 5 лет назад

Its probably a fairly similar process. I wouldnt be surprised if they are of similar quality too.

@OutdoorsIQ 5 лет назад

My only concern would be corner cutting to keep the costs down.

@chickenbradly 5 лет назад

Just like everything else: the cheaper it is, the less reliable it is. Unfortunately with carbon, it's not just "Oh, the steel is weaker so it'll bend easier" it's "Oh, the mold or material was faulty and now you have a catastrophic failure that can't be fixed. Or you get seriously injured". Right now, if you want to get 100% carbon bike and be confident that you won't die on it, you need to throw down at least 2 grand

@michaelparker2449 5 лет назад

@@chickenbradly I 100% disagree at your assumption that more expensive must be better on these, especially since I've seen many reviews of these Chinese frames after a lot of time and miles put into them with no issues. Admittedly there is still a question of their reliability if used for regular hard offroading, but so far they've been shown to be more than good enough for what 99% of people would put them through.

@ColoradoMikeC 4 года назад

I used to work in the industry. the cheap chinese frames are made pretty much the same as more expensive frames, just with much worse working conditions. And, I might add, that a lot of the name brand frames are made in the same factories that the cheaper frames are made.. - Factories in some cases, make the frames for multiple brands in Taiwan and China..
