Guys,
I am a noob, can anyone exlain the basics about usage of carbon fibre for biking to me ?
The reduced weight only ?
well I always wondered, because with the riders weight & bike combined
even the loss of one kilo is relatively small (stupid me things).
I could understand carbon wheels for reduced torgue .
Well I know it is a generally used term for THE cutting edge material...but why exactley?
Has is better characteristics ? dynamic stiffness ? damping ? corrosion ?
Sorry for sounding like a German engineer from Volkswagen,
