Carbon fibre.

Lets just say you dint your carbon fibre frame. Game over? Not so quick! there are companies that will repair carbon fibre frames for you. One of these companies is Ruckus Components. But repair isnt the only thing going on....



The picture is from Ruckus Components flickr. It shows a 15 tooth lower jockey wheel. Take a deep breath and read the link posted on that photo. I've seen a few of these larger jockey wheels kicking about and had wondered about the proposed benefits. They are championed by Berner, All i could find was deepest, darkest germanic weight weenie stuff, or the odd mention on cycling news, so i hadnt really worked out what they were all about. But it would seem to make even *more* sense for bikes used in the dirt. Pretty interesting...carbon fibre caged saint mech with 15 tooth lower jockey? Maybe...
