Didn't you know that carbon loses 90% of it's advantage if you paint it?
Do you mean weight or strength advantage?
At no point did i make the statement that carbon spacers are pointless.
I am obviously not anti carbon 'cos its my steerer the things are sittin on isn't it.
Yes they do look excellent,which is the only reason i put them on. As for weight saving they seemed to weigh bugger all less than the alumunium spacers they replaced,you could save more weight takin a wee before you go out for a ride. And strength? I have never heard of someone having a catastrophic spacer failure while they're riding.
The point is after spending my hard earned money on funky loookin' spacers and gettin off my butt to get the allen keys and install them for practically no weight saving and an unecessary strengthening of a part that seems to not require it.Why did i bother? Why does anyone bother with purely cosmetic upgrading of parts.
Anyway i'm not cuttin' my steerer (Gudsell)
i like it that way so there!
