Tim Desmet is riding one of these frames right now and its still not broken :sunglasses:

Tim is a pretty hardcore rider at all styles of riding so if that frame still isnt broken im sure itll last for most you guys :stuck_out_tongue:

22

I totally agree with you xD
The frame is really good :wink:
it is really strong, it can handle hardcore trial,street and flatland :wink:

  • it is light + it feels amazing =D

Carbon durabilityā€¦

As a whitewater kayaker, I have paddled quite a few carbon fiber paddles. Whitewater paddles take a beating against rocks all day long, I have snapped some of my paddles but that was due to manufacturing and designing problems usually fixed in the next batch.
My current carbon paddle is going on 3 years of LOTS of abuse and holding strong; it can be done but they have to be made well and prototyped/tested by those who will abuse the crap out of them. Are they going to be more durable that steelā€¦ no; aluminum? Some might argue this, probably notā€¦
Light as hell, stiff and responsive, absolutely :smiley:

uni neophyte here, but carbon sounds scary for a unicycle. a good bang off a rock will chip a carbon frame, but leave it looking sound otherwise. things seem good, until you stress the frame, and discover that that nick is but the head of a structural crack that has effectively turned your turgid frame into a fragile, yet stiff, ticking time bomb.

Iā€™ve seen a an xc carbon handlebar give out, and the result was not pretty. long story short, anything but virgin carbon scares me to death

25

yes, look nice and maybe donā€™t brokeā€¦ but why carbon frame if (for example impact and kris holm) aluminium frame are ligtherā€¦???

and is obvious carbon is less strongerā€¦

:thinking:

26

its lighterā€¦
I think carbon is 530g
and impact is 608g
KH is 560g

  • donā€™t forget carbon has a medium neck (20cm?)
    and KH and impact are (here) short necks (15cm?)
    :smiley:

and it looks nice ^^

27

Carbon is pimp though! same for titanium, you dont buy the frame because itā€™s lighter, i think the original triton spongeā€™s were only a few grams lighter than the KH frames :stuck_out_tongue:
tim, are your weights without bearing holders? the weights I have areā€¦

KH - ~640g
Impact gravity shortneck 580g
Impact gravity longneck 738g

28

with I thinkā€¦
I got it from municycle.comā€¦

ah okay! and what about the weight for your carbon frame?

+1

i would totally ride with a carbon frame just for the looks of it :sunglasses:

i love frames that are different from others just because of the pimp factor haha

31

imo its ugly lol really ugly but i like the carbon look just not the shape of the kk1 ā€œkarkon konceptā€ one

32

I totaly agree on this one! But Iā€™m not sure if I would ride carbon on a unicycle. I would be scared of denting it, because itā€™s not good when thereā€™s a dent in carbon. But carbon looks awesome :slight_smile:
