Yeah I do understand that some glues can actually be insanely strong. An example that comes to mind being the glue that was used on the fork on the Time Machine, I think going by the spec sheet, it was said that they carbon fibre or metal would fail before the bond did?
Even though I know that they obviously sufficient enough to be used in aeroplanes, it’s still hard to get past.
I guess it does indeed come down to it being done properly. Aeroplane manufacturers (maybe not Boeing) obviously have strict QC and it’s all done properly.
The problem is trusting small bike brands to be doing it properly.
