Ahh, the infamous China carbon

Yeah, there is that too - not all CF is the same - very true!

Actually, a lot of the well known bicycle mfrs(Trek, Specialized, Cannondale etc.) use carbon fiber frame made from China and Taiwan. Their lower end(cheaper) frames are made in Asia while their top of the line models are made in the US.

somewhat, but related, I know a guy who had a Trek full frame carbon bike snap like a twig. The guy did a bunny hop and it just went Trek eventually replaced it, but with a bike from another plant - my friend was told they had a QC issue with the fiber in that run, from a plant in China - go figure!

In contrast I have seen items made of CF 'on the range' survive explosions with little if any damage to the CF components. I doubt that Trek frame would have survived...

...and NO - I am NOT gong to try to blow up one of the CBs as a QC check on the CF (I figured I would make that clear now, no need to ask)

Now...
