I have a Cannondale scalpel (XC race bike) and i was wondering if the Carbon fiber lower arms connected to the seatstays can hold up to jumping more then 4-5 feet and landing hard... it has 2.7 inches (somehitng like that) of travel in the rear... so i would imagine that the limit would be reached before you can break the CF arms...
As for dropping in (i dont do much of) what about 4-6 foot drops? you think that could mess up the arms?
The scalpel has the option of locking out the rear shock so i think i could do drops and big jumps with ease if i landed correctly
LMK guys,
Zach
