Yung bawal pitikin ang carbon frame hindi mo naisama 🤣🤣

[@GerVictor]

Hahahaha myth!!! Pwedeng pwede. Istorbo lang sa mga shop owners😂

[@billyjoellimpin]

I was about to comment the same sir ahahha

[@johnnyboy3357]

Carbon frame nasa hundreds of kilos ang kalamangan kung pipisakin ng hydraulic press kumpara sa aluminum tapos bawal daw pitikin?? Di ko gets eh, natitiis nila maingay na hubs pero pitik lang ng carbon frame ayaw?? Asos lol

[@marcialasedillo8764]

Hahaha... yan din sana ang itatanong ko Sir.

[@sevrodriguez7584]

If sau ang frame unlimited pitik all u want wla nmn magbabawal sir eh. Pero kpg for sale at nsa store syempre bat mo pipitikin unless bibilhin mo na. Respect nlng s mga store yan kya bawal pitikin. Hindi nkakadamage ang pitik pero bka mgkaron ng paint scratch. Sakin kpg carbon specific ang frame hndi ko pipitikin bagkus buhatin kung gaanu kagaan.

[@CarloNicolai]

Yes, but still, I go for aluminum alloy, ngayon meron na rin naman na mga superlight aluminum. nabuwag din yung misconception at may engineering perspective yung topic. Matibay talaga yang new material pero yun nga, mahal lang din talaga.

[@jestag2]

Numero uno na myth ay ang mga nagsasabi na CF is the best material for bikes. Ang katotohanan any material i.e. steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon can be the best material depende sa intended use, design at engineering.

[@Eli-kunistrying]

I appreciate Ger doing research and even interviewing people on this topic. Making a (sort of) controversial topic with cycling. Thank you, props to you sir.

[@bobbanaga4274]

I had my Trek Carbon Fiber bike bought in San Francisco since I bought it on January 8, 1998 and still running well and very little paint chip. Last upgrade is a Rim brake 45/55 carbon wheel set a year ago ordered from Tuff Cycles, Australia that turned out to be made in China. But my Trek Carbon was made in Wisconsin USA and Trek is a pioneer carbon frame builder and I was riding my carbon bike before there were any other brand of carbon bikes on the market in the USA. That’s why I would only buy and ride a Trek Carbon bike. No knocks on other brands of carbon bikes but I can attest to the quality of a Trek carbon bike. Pricey but you get what you paid for. After 23 years my bike weigh in at 16.4 lbs with carbon wheel set and Continental tubeless 700x25c, triple chain ring, and 9 spd Dura Ace cassette.

[@LARGA]

For a branded carbon fiber frame with warranty and passed ISO requirements, yes ako dyan. But for a very cheap carbon fiber frame in the market, medyo nakaka alangan.

[@techmorev]

Correct. Lalo ang daming cf ngaun nag kalat from china

[@apollocorporal8621]

@@techmorev halos nmn lahat na carbon frames made from china sir

[@techmorev]

@@apollocorporal8621 i mean china brand. I stand corrected.

[@johnnyboy3357]

Meron na bang batas sa Pilipinas na nagbabawal ng substandard cf sa merkado wala pa yata eh, buti pa sa europa bago ilabas sa merkado certified ng batas nila ang mga produkto, dito tagpi tagpi na nga lang pinipilit pang ibenta hahaha

[@Nursemavie]

Ever since nakuha ko ang birdie ko nagiba pananaaw ko sa Carbon 😂 the only way for you to appreciate carbon is to own and ride one

[@LloydLac]

sir Vic, habang tunatagal po ba tumataas yung value ng carbon bike pinag mamayari mo?

[@CeeMav]

Gawa po kayo video kung anong importance ng color ng jersey/bike accesorries sa Road safety and comfort (like sa sunlight kapag dark or light ang color ng suot). Sana po mapansin.

[@brentcrebs35]

Planning to buy the mountain peak rexton 7000, tatagal kaya yung frame nun if gagawin kong pang long travel ride once or twice every week ?

[@DJ-ce8yh]

so alin ang mas worth the price? "Carbon frameset + carbon wheelset + 105 groupset" or "Aluminum alloy frameset + alloy wheelset + Ultegra groupset"?

sir just to confirm it when do we exactly need to replace our bike if sabi nyo nga wala naman shelf life hanggang di nagkakaroon ng impact?

[@thehouseofpain920]

sir meron po bang weight capacity na inaaccomodate ang carbon fiber na mtb?

[@carlosjr.7322]

Bakit kailangan pa ng torque wrench kung mag hihigpit ng turnilyo kng mas matibay ang carbon frame? salamat sa sasagot, curious lang 😄

[@Shredwideyron]

unlike steels and aluminum hindi malleable and carbon fiber. kung ang aluminum and steel ay nayuyupi lang at pwede mabalik sa dati ang carbon fiber ay mababali agad kase britille but not easily deformed and still resistant upon impact ang mga carbom fiber.

[@carlosjr.7322]

Yowwnn, ayos! Salamat @EZOR MTB!

[@dencioz55555]

Carbon bikes rocks ika nga. Pero okay din naman ang aluminum at titanium.

Now i know, dati sobrang takot ko sa carbon frame kasi mabigat ako, nasasabi nga din ng iba kung mga kaibigan yung mga misconception about sa carbon na mali pala😅. ngayon nabago nya isip ko. It's time to ipon na road to carbon frame na this😂

[@jonathannuyte9884]

basta pag bibili ka ng cf alam nyo brand at SWL nya lalo na heavy ka tapos i dadaan mo sa lubak or di maiwasan malubak dalikado talaga.., alloy bike ko kaya ko mag carbon but sa safety kc iniisip ko..,

[@ZuxinYun]

Gawa ka po pros and cons ng Aluminum Alloy, Steel, and Carbon Fiber frame. Sana po mapansin☺️

[@lloydbenablo4001]

Idol ger victor, totoo po ba na mas reliable or durable pag bumili ka ng carbon frames na uci accredited?

[@lorenzlingao5566]

Solid ang info 💯💯

[@jepotbobo1]

Just don't trust naked(unpainted) carbon fiber. Even the UV absorbing stabilizers in the epoxy degrade over time. So safer pa rin na painted yung bilhin nyo. And the way the weaves are laid out is very important for maximum strength for minimal weight, so dont trust chinese made. most of them are just copying without understanding the stresses involved. Safe bet is to get one from Taiwan, they are proven to be among the best when working with carbonfiber

[@nipahaus6206]

Ganyan talaga pag bago palang gagamit ng carbon madaming inaalam,ganyan din ako nung araw, Confucius pa kabado pa nga sakyan.

[@dustinmagahis6192]

Bumili po ako ng mtb frame lightweight po sya safe po kaya sya sa trail rides? Trail setup po kasi gagawin ko

[@hectorhector737]

What your stand regarding high end carbon frames vs low end carbon fiber frames. Lets face it almost all brands are made in china sir

[@camiloparaino5298]

Almost all brands are made by giant and giant’s factories are all in taiwan if not by giant they are hand made by the actual brand like colnago or pinarello

[@allanjohndeleon8183]

Sir Ger, ang galing niyo naman po. Yan po mismo yung binabanggit ng isang bike mechanic (nakakalungkot lang po na ang comments niya po ay yung mga myths / misconceptions, buti na lamang hindi siya yung gumagawa sa bike ko) noong isang araw na nagpaputol po ako ng seat post ko. Kasi po sobrang taas ng saddle ng twitter bike at nakatingkayad na po ako. Buti na lang po at niliwanag niyo sa video ang katotohanan about carbon fiber parts. Tanong ko lang po. Bakit may mga mahilig humimas ng bike parts kasi nung nagpapagawa po ako, may lumapit na hindi naman siya bike mechanic at tunnalikod pa siya hindi niya alam nakikita ko yung ginagawa niya. Meron pa, may lumapit din na nagtatanong lang dapat siya sa bike mechanic na gumagawa sa bike ko tapos pinitik pitik niya yung frame (buti sana kung mahina pero malalakas na pitik, hindi man lang nagpasintabi sa gumagawa o sa may ari). Hindi ko po alam kung paano magre react sa sitwasyon, pero natatawa po ako sa tinuran po ng mga kababayan natin. Kung maaari po sana maliwanagan niyo po ako. Maraming maraming salamat po, Sir Ger. Press on po, GOD bless and stay safe po.

[@jedunboxing4127]

di naman masisira yun sa pitik,unless na si taguro sya...

[@allanjohndeleon8183]

​@@jedunboxing4127 Understandable po. Nabigla lang po ako na nakapansin ako ng kakaibang reaksiyon patungkol po sa mga bisikleta. Naipaliwanag naman ni Sir Ger yung inam po ng carbon fiber at happy po ako. Looking forward po ako sa marami pang very informative tips and lessons that Sir Ger will be showing on this channel. At dahil doon nagpapasalamat po ako. Para sa lahat, patuloy po tayong mag iingat sa panahon na ito. Salamat pong muli.
