Tom Booth Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 What the! Bamboo! very......Different. i wonder if it will be a sucess or if will just fall apart. I cant see this coming to the trials market really, too much stress on the chain stays for bamboo to work. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Staples Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Rav showed me that a while ago. Its very light, and suprisingly strong. Not 'James Porter' strong, but meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 That does look very nice, but is it really strong enough? The owner of my LBS was blabbering on about bamboo spokes, and seemed sure that they were lighter and stronger than aluminium...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy elephants Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I can't see it taking of in trials, but it could be good for xc (Y) I cant see it standing upto dents too well on the downtube... but i may be wrong, I no that it has amazing strength properties, but just how far do they stretch?
