• One chap in the Pinkbike comments section said that carbon tubes and alloy lugs have a very different expansion/contraction rate and that flying the bike in the hold then landing in a warm country is going to test the elasticity of the bonds - may of course be bollocks but sounded plausible

  • If there was an engineer involved in the project then they should be able to calculate this difference and spec an adhesive which can cope with it. For sure that looks like an adhesive failure but I don't think anyone can say why the adhesive failed without a much more detailed look at the bike.
