I’m simply pointing out that carbon frames don’t fail and magically become useless from nicks and scrapes as the post I was responding to claimed. If your friend’s Giant carbon frame survived for ten years and suffered from “bunches of falls” you’re making my point better than I did.
Yeah, this seems to be turning into some sort of grudge to prove me wrong. I just responded to your question and younclearly didn't like the response.
I agree that steel frames can fail.
I disagree with your newest claim that a bike falling a bunch of times over a decade inevitably leads to a weakened frame. It certainly might,, or it might not. Totally depends on the frame and where the impacts are.
I'm out on this back and forth.
