Steel
Actually, more likely aluminium. Fit for purpose as I don't intend on driving and suv over my bike.
monster munch
haha, very crude/american way to test things
Even though I know it was a pre-record I so wanted that truck to crush the titanium tube as well
aloominium whatever that is sounds dead high tech
TBH I would expect my bike and all components to be wrecked being ridden over by a vehicle that size
So if you plan on being ran over by an SUV get ti...and if not aluminium and carbon are still fine? 😛
Irrelevant test passed with flying colours...
Of course, if you designed a carbon fibre tube to take radial loads it would be fine.
Yes, because what i'm interested in when selecting a material my bike will be made from is it's strength in a direction that has no bearing on it's suitability for manufacturing a bike from. I also like how the ti tube is un-manipulated. I'd guess that any manipulation a frame builder could do to a ti tube is only to make it weaker.
