I'm on the fence about carbon. Not sure if I'm ready to cross into that realm yet or just keep riding Aluminum. I have a GF Hi-Fi Deluxe 26 in trail bike and considering a 29 inch carbon hardtail to add to the fleet But I'm not entirely sold on carbon yet.
So my question is; what are most current Carbon XC Frames made from? Durable Carbon or non durable.
It seems the idea of carbon in XC is to keep the gram count down. However, The frame needs to be strong enough to handle off road conditions. The problem I hear with durabe carbon is the weight factor, ie its heavy. That said, do they use durable or non durable carbon to make frames
Thanks in advance for any help.
