@vietnguyen4312 26 дней назад

The 2 weakest parts of the frame are already broken (seat stays and top tube) but interesting test anyway. To sum up the SL8 frame in a practical sense: A good friend of mine is talented enough to race for a pro continental team in Europe that are sponsored by Specialized. This year they upgraded to the S-Works SL8 and have broken 8 frames in 5 months. Last year riding on the pro version, the team broke significantly less frames although I do not know the exact number. To sum up, if you crash an S-Works SL8 the chances of the frame breaking are pretty high.

@pierrex3226 25 дней назад

Or maybe they were riding 3000pc faster because it said sworks and so the crashes were higher speed :D

As long as the carbon is made well it's tough durable stuff. One problem carbon bikes can have is quality control and a lack of resin to save weight and add stiffness. The 2nd and 3rd Gen carbon bikes where super stiff and bomb proof.

@lisashiela9137 26 дней назад

Carbon fiber has very different characteristics than other materials. It’s super strong…and then it’s not. Some areas on a frame are bulletproof and others are extremely fragile.

@GCPerformance18 26 дней назад

its almost like alot of things, they are meant to be strong but if something hits it just right it can break and fracture, I have seen this with aluminum as well, morale of the story is, dont fall or dont let your bike fall

@MrYAMAHA32177 26 дней назад

Probably the biggest drawback to carbon fiber bikes is that they’re like eggs. You know how eggs are almost impossible to break if you squeeze them from the pointy ends, but if you squeeze them any other way you’ll quickly wind up with a handful of yolk?

@Questioneverything72 24 дня назад

This wasn’t much helpful testing. Except for the clamp test, in other tests you did, frame doesn’t go under much pressure from those directions you tested. Lateral force on down tube when pedaling hard is near bottom bracket, not much in middle. And last test, regarldess, I think that chain stay/bottom bracket junction was very weak. Even though it is not designed to take a beating from that direction.

@TheChindoboi 16 дней назад

Rear chainstay was only weak as it wasn’t a fully closed double triangle having been sawn off and missing a seat stay… If the same test was done to a new bike with a rear wheel torqued in. That rear seat stays would not break. Also considering a bottom bracket only flexes marginally when putting through 800w into the pedals would suggest that normally the bottom bracket is very strong.

@roa5359 26 дней назад

Pressure applied equally all way round (on a round tube) will hardly make an impact. Accidents do not have that effect, neither does material fatigue. Fact is that less carbon layup will have less strength than more of equal quality. How many grammes is your life worth to you? 😊
