"The biggest bike manufacturers that create carbon fiber frames and forks agree that the average life of carbon is 5 to 7 years if ridden or 7 to 10 years if left alone. However, this is mainly determined by how the carbon is stacked during manufacture, the resins used and how they were utilized, and how the frame is used or mistreated.
As a general rule, the lighter the carbon frame or component, the less abuse/riding it can withstand. The weight is reduced by focusing the strength on the carbon layers in the most important/structural places. Put another way, lighter, thinner carbon frames are unlikely to endure as long as thicker, heavier frames."

Litt usikker på om dette kan stemme? Da vil i så fall verdien av å ha livstidsgaranti (eiers levetid) på ramma og gafler være stor.
Fortsetter å lese meg opp på temaet 😄
