I'm wondering if I can use one of those bike racks that clip onto the seat post with a carbon fiber post. Will it crush it? How tough are they?
carbon bikes are for racing....not pack mules.... probably the most you should think about putting on it would be an under seat bag/handlebar bag.Maury Robertson said:Thanks, George. I was afraid of that. Anyone have any brilliant ideas for how to get some bags attached to a carbon road bike? I use a backpack but I hate how it makes me so sweaty.
you can race to work on a nicely crafted Ti or cro-moly frame too...Ti doesnt rust, isnt as fragile as carbon, cost as much, supposed to have the ride of steel with stiffness of carbon (probably approximate) of course carbon can be made more aerodynamic and when your racing in the major tours, that matters. for the rest of us i think aerodynamics are the least of our worries (my bike glies through the wind, but i slow it down)Maury Robertson said:Thanks! I'm starting to get it. But it's so much fun to race to work! I appreciate your help.
