Cool, thanks for posting. As an engineer this stuff is very interesting to me. I've been through the Thomson plant a few times and seen their test rigs, way cool stuff. Ultimate strength test on a seatpost.  Stem after a fatique test.  |

When done right, carbon is the bees knees. There's a reason they make fighter jets and Formula 1 cars out of the stuff. Check out this video. Guy takes a hammer to a rigid carbon fork and a rigid steel fork. www.ninerbikes.com/carbonfork (it's the very last 'image' in the slideshow) It's not exactly a scientific test, but it's pretty interesting either way. |
