Gee Atherton on an alloy rear end for his Trek Session - PIT BITS - Fort William World Cup - Mountain Biking Pictures - Vital MTB

Gee Atherton is running an alloy rear triangle over the carbon one used previously. He rode it at the BDS three weeks ago to test stiffness and reliability so it must be doing the trick on the rough track.

I've also read a lot of comments about Treks breaking chainstys. Perhaps the alloy one is stronger?

Could it be that he's using an allow one to also make the bike longer (without spending copious amounts of $$$ on a new mold)?
