Havent sessions always been breaky? Reguardless of material?So trek is warranting it .new upper will be here in a week and a half
Yeah the sessions broke in alloy they didn't discriminate against the carnage God...they sacrificed riders to him...Havent sessions always been breaky? Reguardless of material?
oh yea, in 50 years or so of riding bicycles I've broken one aluminum frame, a zillion aluminum rims, and one carbon handlebar.
So my jam is Pendleton. I will compare the rye vs the normal. They do have something waaaay sooper expensive. Not doing that. I'm sure I won't be able to tell the difference.
just turned 55 ! get off of my lawn.How old are you? Didn't know you were a senior citizen. Show me your AARP card
I smashed the seat stay of a Ripmo into a rock and clearly damaged several layers of carbon. I continued to ride it hard for several weeks with no issue. It did make me nervous and Ibis gave me a good deal on a crash replacement despite not having to support a second hand bike per their warranty.So my jam is Pendleton.

back to bikes
But I can tell the difference between carbon and alu wheels. That, I will say.
I haven't really broken much (that's probably a lie if you're an IRS agent), and that being said, none of it was carbon. And I have carbon wheels. And have done some stupid moves on them.
Broken spokes? Yes.
Rim? No.
I've got a crabon Ibis Ripmo. But really don't ride it that hard. If it cracks. New bike day?
HA!just turned 55 ! get off of my lawn.
He will probably just want to mow it, old dudes love mowing.HA!
You can stay on my lawn . We'll play some frisbee golf. Seems more your speed, old man. After we do some bike riding, of course.
Just try to keep up
I don't mow, hate it. I will however ride some steep trails with you. Old dudes love steep trails.
Alright. We'll shuttle White Ranch someday. I do miss it.I don't mow, hate it. I will however ride some steep trails with you. Old dudes love steep trails.
No.Alright. We'll shuttle White Ranch someday. I do miss it.
Shit I want a rocking chair and a BB gun . Gonna sit there and shoot the little bastards who come on my lawn ..HA!

Is it Longhorn? Some kind of horn. I always liked. Where you have a bit of a hike out? At least if you're me. And like I said It's been a while. I'm sure it's packed every day at White's these days.No.
Steep trails.
That reminds me of Gran Torino. Are you sure you're not Clint Eastwood? HAShit I want a rocking chair and a BB gun . Gonna sit there and shoot the little bastards who come on my lawn ..
Lmao forgot about that show . Yeah I get told I'm an asshole pretty often but it's cause people don't like the truth and everyone thinks we need to not step on feelings .That reminds me of Gran Torino. Are you sure you're not Clint Eastwood? HA

Eff and A bro. Ef and A. There was a bumper sticker I recently saw. "America, love it or leave it". Love it.
And for all the illegals? Don't even try it.
LuescherTechnik or how ever he is spelled did a lot of ultrasound scanning AFAIK. He was a proper reviewer kicking a lot of comps in their arses.Has anyone checked carbonframe with xray?
So I'm curious. Out of all the brands out there, you got a Vitus?Trust carbon enough to build this last night. (Carbon front/Alu rear)

Who knows. Might even be brave enough to ride it one day.
They’re Chinese open mold with a paint job. The front end on my ICAN is the same as the Vitus Rapide and NS bikes Synonym and at least two other big brands. That being said, they should be as robust as anything else.So I'm curious. Out of all the brands out there, you got a Vitus?
Can't say I know anything about them. Looks decent. Tell us how it goes.
I already have 2 other vitus bikes.So I'm curious. Out of all the brands out there, you got a Vitus?
clearly manufactured by the same factory as the previous gen Nukeproofs too. Which were IME a lot less crack happy than current gen RIPThey’re Chinese open mold with a paint job
Never even thought about ultrasound for consistency or discontinuity...radiography for density lines..LuescherTechnik or how ever he is spelled did a lot of ultrasound scanning AFAIK. He was a proper reviewer kicking a lot of comps in their arses.
I like the stance of this bike .I already have 2 other vitus bikes.
I bought this new warranty frame (no shock) in Large at a good price. (obvs with no warranty) To swap all the parts from this XL Giga .
