So after every single rice/race, the bikes would need to be stripped and rebuilt with a new frame. We think of pro racing teams as being bottomless pits of money. But they are not. They have budgets and expenses and try to turn a profit. Every pro team would need to hire 2-3-4 extra mechanics permanently just to rebuild and strip frame after every single ride. This would be an extra half million dollars added to the budget. I know that sounds like a piddle amount to rich folks. But it adds up quickly. Half the pro bike teams would be out of business because they cannot stand that kind of expense. And pro bike sponsors would also stop sponsoring because giving away thousands of frames for free every year would not be worth the cost. I encourage you trumpians to at least add some believability to your lies. At least make your lies close or within sight of the truth. Why don't you tell us all how long you've been making bicycles? Seems to me that only a moron will tell us that the factory doesn't know what they're talking about. So how long have you been making bicycles and of what materials? You seem to be saying that something that what someone told you that somebody else said must the truth, and all of the truth, but in reality the real question is not what someone says that someone else says but what is happening in real life. Do T de F teams actually change frames, for every team member, every race? Perhaps they do but to date I haven't read any reports by bicycle reporters to that effect and I would think that it might be of great interest to the bicycling world that this was happening. But perhaps all the bicycling reporters are being bribed to not report such truths by a conspiracy of all the carbon frame makers who pay them large sums of money to ignore the truth. -- cheers, John B. You have just lost the ability to ever pretend that you were an engineer. If you haven't watched the actual tests of aluminum and carbon fiber parts on YouTube you've shown exactly what a dope you are. Nope I have never watched youtube to obtain any engineering data of any nature. I far prefer to read the documents put out by the various firms that manufacture, or test, the material. I recently posted some data on the strength of carbon fiber versus metals and I certainly didn't watch youtube to get that data. I went to the group that actually did the testing. I cringe to even imagine the results of someone making a proposal to built something like the Bay Bridge and getting up in a meeting and saying, "Yes, we got all our material strength values from youtube". We might ask Frank whether he ever suggest that his engineering students got their data from youtube. Or perhaps what his reaction would have been if anyone had submitted a paper with a footnote saying that "the values above were obtained from watching youtube". You demonstrate once again how far removed you really are from reality. -- cheers, John B. |

Cheers I do like Wikipedia as it covers an amazing number of subjects and I do find that the majority of the more technical entries are factual. On the other hand it is open to editing by just about everyone, which sometimes does contribute to its accuracy, but I do find that some of the more general entries can be somewhat slanted, or told from only one viewpoint. But I would say that anyone that relies on a single source for almost any data is going to be disappointed. -- cheers, John B. |

It's astounding how many people read Wikipedia and watch You Tube and then pass themselves off as experts - sometimes even on You Tube. Cheers There are problems that people who have never been real-life engineers do not understand. That is that some materials, most especially resin based materials are extremely easy to not manufacture properly. Voids and sharp edges in areas that cannot be seen can lead to failures that Frank's "numbers" are completely unaware of. When someone on YouTube has bisected a carbon handlebar and shows large areas of voids on the most expensive American made components that might give you reasons to think rather differently about the difference between engineering numbers and actual end product. |
