For steel and ti if the flex is below the fatigue limit then there will be no damage. Not sure about carbon though. Ask alienator.

Re: can a carbon frame take this?
What training I have done on trainers, I have noticed a little flex in the threaded bolts on the trainer, not so much as on the bike itself. If so, that will relieve a little stress on the frame.

sure. and do you seriously think he practices that action on a trainer? trainers are really good for lots of things, but getting your full throttle sprint down simply isn't one of them. --brett |

You don't seriously practice sprinting on a trainer, or even climbing for that matter. For real practice, you need to get outdoors.

Re: can a carbon frame take this?
Heck, there's no way a CF frame could ever stand up to the insane rigors of trainer use. No way. Heck, just check out this video from Storck, wherein they test one of their CF frames. Trainers are much harder on things than that test, for sure. Honest.

Re: can a carbon frame take this?
That test could be representative of any fucking frame.
Eventually, people might get it through their pea brains that it's not the damned material but how the bike is designed and put together. Christ. |
