View Full Version : Got Ti? obionespeedonly 07-21-2006, 07:59 PM Nice, really nice. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3741362681682291899&q=bicycle) Cozza 07-23-2006, 12:53 PM Wow! (5 char) starship303 07-23-2006, 08:08 PM haha, damn i love titanuim! Rootberry 07-27-2006, 12:05 PM Heh, to bad Ti bikes fail at the welds like all other bikes:thumbsup: kauaibullit 07-27-2006, 11:08 PM I'd like to see the Ti tube to be the same diameter as the other two tubes. The problem w/ that video is that the direction of load is way wrong for a carbon tube. The fibers on that carbon tube run lengthwise. That is the direction the tube is supposed to take load (take a straw and push it at the ends it resists well, then push at the sides it crushes easily). By using a smaller diameter tube, with what looked like a thicker wall. It is going to resist crushing much better. Not impressed...:rolleyes: Don't get me wrong, ti is strong as hell, but that demonstration was off. |
