CUTTING UP EXPENSIVE CARBON BIKES!

I dropped into see Raoul Luescher from Luescher Teknik to see what we could do with the noisey seatpost on my Giant TCR build. While I was there I had Raoul tell us about his recent Instagram posts that had me intrigued. Hes cutting a LOT of carbon bikes in half and sharing the results.\r

*Yes the camera focus is disappointing. Daily emails about it were flowing in. I know. Canon G7X Mark II. Heading towards the bin*\r
\r
In this video Raoul shows us a LOT of expensive things cut in half, discusses the build quality, talks about how to safely cut carbon fibre components, and a lot more. Hes an encyclopedia of knowledge and can explain the technical concepts of carbon in ways thats easy to undertand for us not-so-composite savvy people. \r
