This is why you NEVER ride Carbon Mountain Bikes 😳

[superspeckyeyes]

That snap you hear is actually the sound of his wallet crying.

[thisismyyoutubename]

Incorrect. I never ride carbon bikes because I can't afford one.

[ruben]

I’m happy with my metal mongoose one. If it breaks, at least I can afford another one.

Come on now. Been riding carbon mts for 10 yrs. Plenty of crashes. O problems! Anything can happen if its a bad crash.. carbon or aluminum!

[erikkpritchard]

Oceangate will buy that used carbon...

I'm a former composites design and structures stress engineer for Airbus aircraft. While carbon is amazing, it has its drawbacks. It is extremely sensitive to manufacturing process and in-use impacts. A minor variance in process can result in massive strength reduction. An impact on a frame may show a tiny surface blemish, but the delamination underneath is 100x the size. Only NDT can show you. Carbon is great, but you are literally riding the unknown after it is hit by anything.

I thought we were beyond using “don’t ride carbon because….” as clickbait. Is it 2014 again? Dumbest advice ever.

[Jh-kvfi]

No way it failed just from that, previous damage was done for sure

[Stockfish]

I have 2022 trek slash carbonframe. Did some big jumps and im 6.8 ft 100kg. Never had any issues. I think it depends what brand and what cost. But anything can break

[Dantick]

I once snapped my steel frame, 20$ later at a welding shop and I was back in business

[mxhdrm]

Are we not going to mention the tools sitting in the middle of the trail after a blind jump...

[Eric.V.]

Not all carbon is created equally. The diff in quality can range greatly.

[atlanticsquib]

Ppl saying “aluminium will break too” are missing the crucial nugget of information that Everything that’s regularly used and thrashed through adverse conditions can break. But aluminium is a lot fucking cheaper to replace than carbon.

[Radimkiller]

Alloy would crack too... but it won't cost you 50% more lol

[dgw]

Should be titled "this is why you never ride second hand carbon mountain bikes"

[eliduffer]

Some people don’t understand how rare it is to snap a carbon frame also most companies will replace it free of charge

[ryanwolfe]

Aluminum parts often break when you smash them into trail side roots and rocks as well.

[beaglebob]

That’s why I carry duct tape on every ride!

[jeffreymarsh]

Solid riding from the second rider taking a nose dive to not run over his buddy. /salute

[sabbottart]

I bought a steel bike recently. Best ride quality ever.
