The guy's Giant carbon frame is over 10 years old and has at least 30,000mi on it. In that time, I trust the bike had fallen a bunch without incident.
But on this day in this manner, the frame broke.
You listing personal examples doesnt change anything.
Nor does your friend’s example. Steel frames were failing as a result of wrecks and abuse many years before carbon frames even existed.
I’m simply pointing out that carbon frames don’t fail and magically become useless from nicks and scrapes as the post I was responding to claimed. If your friend’s Giant carbon frame survived for ten years and suffered from “bunches of falls” you’re making my point better than I did.
