@nojzilla: I’m a little late to the party, can’t comment on what’s a “living wage” in Taiwan. I do know of a certain well know brand who’s handle bars cost 17USD each ex factory are sold for 120AUD RRP. That’s a pretty handy mark up...

@Compositepro: projecting your own insecurities onto others. You should seek help

@Compositepro: all you need to do to keep up the appearance of being a wanka is to keep slinging mud. It’s all you’ve got in your weak pathetic mind.

@Compositepro: keep slinging mud, it’s definitely making you sound like a low iq knuckle dragger.

@Compositepro: for a “pro” all you have done is make shit up, get called on it and then proceed to sling shit around like you right all while presenting nothing of your own. Unless of course slinging shit is all you have to call your own?

@Compositepro: says the guy who just flat out makes shit up...

@Compositepro: and ignore my second paragraph I mis attributed someone else to your stupid reductive argument. I apologise to them.

@Compositepro: I never said aluminium is stiffer, you are building a strawman. A bicycle frame is a structure. Many things affect the rigidity of that structure apart from the material it’s made of. It’s possible to make a frame out of spruce that is stiffer than steel, ally or Cfrp. It might be you who is lacking understanding if that’s what you’ve reduced the conversation too and perhaps cannodale is better off without you.

@bogey: you do understand the word comparable yes? Would you rate aluminium ove Cfrp for a flexors joint?

@bogey: decreasing rigidity increases stress... material is added at the joint by means of a butt or gusset to transmit stress. It increases the joint rigidity, it’s why you see frames crack behind the butt or gusset- you’ve just shifted the stress from the joint to the reduced wall thickness section. It’s not often not the weld that fails but the parent material next to the weld. Besides that you are still comparing big apples to little apples. Ally frames are still stiffer than comparable steel or crfp
