Don’t be that guy ”I’ve got a secret… tee hee hee” It’s pathetic even for 7 year olds

An oxide layer on aluminium forms in the range of picoseconds under barely any (oxygen) atmosphere if I remember the graph seen at work quite a few years ago correctly.

I doubt it’s galvanic corrosion, I would bet money on it that the aluminum oxidized and wasn’t treated before they applied the adhesive to the substrate. There could be saponification happening, but usually that only happens with some amine compounds when interacting with a substrate containing zinc, so I highly doubt that’s the case. A common misconception is that aluminum doesn’t oxidized, but it actually oxidizes (depending on the alloy) within minutes when exposed to oxygen. Anyone familiar with bonding aluminum should be well aware of this. We glue exotic road cars and race cars together all day with no...

The double lap joint is there to ensure a correct application of the adhesive. If you apply it into the groove and push in the tube, the tube will likely be wetted (and this glued) all around the circumference both inside and outside the tube. With a single tube in a single tube it's possible to just scrape off the glue by pushing the tubes together.

With how all the epoxy has stuck to the carbon tube, I would have to assume the epoxy failed due to galvanic corrosion which is one of the bigger benefits of using titanium and carbon or aluminum and aluminum such as Atherton are doing. With proper isolation of the aluminum with anodizing or plating then an even glue line with bond spacers a joint shouldn't fail within a year. Those epoxies are strong as hell. Maybe they need to revisit the length of lap the are using.

Go to bed.

Let me help you with where to start- don't talk about things you have no idea about. In 2021, more than 30,000 rape reports were filed by women in France. 1,413 convictions were made that year. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1103661/rape-on-woman-age-victim-fr… https://www.statista.com/statistics/940739/convictions-for-rape-in-fran…

I'm not sure an Mtb forum is really the best venue to argue about rape conviction rates to be honest.

I haven't seen this photo of the FrameWorks lugged bike. The lines and flow of this frame look amazing.

I heard that too, I think this case has something to do with Mucoff. It would be good if Commencal explained his departure, since there was no "farewell", that also leaves suspicions because he was with them since junior! A bit of transparency would be good, like " human powered suicide machine" said above. The more information that is withheld, the more speculation there will be! If even I have known about this story since he left Commencal, I can't believe that the people at Canyon didn't know about it too

From PB-"I just found out about the allegations. And I have to say, I’m not shocked. There was always something about him that rubbed me the wrong way, even when he was seeing some success, I wasn’t stoked." You see this is the level of informed discourse we should aspire to on here.

Departs from 2 teams in 3 months. Now has "advisors and lawyers" to deal with the rumors surrounding the circumstances. I'll withhold judgment until more facts come out, but I'll be very surprised if Daprela comes out of this clean.

A rape allegation is quite serious, there is no way Daprela will ever come out looking good EVEN if he is exonerated. OTOH, rape is a very serious crime which merits the worst possible punishment in the country where it was committed.

Not cryptic. Just vague descriptions of a circumstance someone can't disclose in French either translated into English or a French person trying to speak English and it being transcribed. Just read the whole gibberish as "I'm being vague and not saying anything"
