Manufacturers also make carbon mistakes! Defects and poor designs

Fascinating. I enjoyed watching that video. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it

Very informative video. I've worked with composite materials when I was with the Suzuki grand prix team in the late eighties them with McLaren until I retired recently

Thank you Keith. You’ve seen a lot I’m sure! 🙏

[@MyRestoration1]

I’ve seen him somewhere before…

Thanks for this insight. But kinda makes me feel "iffy" on my carbon racer 😲 Greets

99% of bikes absolutely fine. I simply highlighted that sometimes there are issues with manufacturing. It happens across all industries I’m afraid. Enjoy your summer Steven and thanks for your regular comments and support. We do appreciate!

Trek does not want to honor their lifetime warranty after the aluminum sleeve disbonded on my carbon 2005 Pilot 5.0. Is this disbonding due to design or could it still be blamed on manufacturing after 17 years?

I think I’ll continue to ride my aluminum Kinesis

I know it's not always the case in life, but it seems that with Carbon Fibre, you get what you pay for, right?

[@carbonbikerepair1]

Well yes..but even then still mistakes are made even at the very top!
