A Specialized S Works Stumpjumper 2010 was sent to us by Dean after a crash. MTB's are less common for cut up review because they mostly get repaired due to the typically more robust construction.
Thanks Dean for sending this bike to us.
On this channel we show marketing free, real information about the bikes that you ride.
You can support us by sending your unwanted frames and parts to us for review.

1st, Thanks to Dean for sending this in! A sincere thanks Raoul for showing this mountain bike frame! I have been fascinated with your channel for a while. I've been hoping to see a MTB cut up for a long time. This was great! I'm definitely going to post this link on some of the mountain bike forums and channels. Thanks again!

That's my frame! Thanks for the cut up Raoul, so interesting. Seems like the big S did a reasonable job making it. If anyone is interested it was destroyed by seriously misjudging and casing the hell out of a jump, right here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9B_fb2au9udf2g.html

His last words in this vid regarding how his shop gets plenty of *repairable* MTB frames I found illuminating! As well as how MTB frames often have more margin for error. It at least explains how most of the cut-ups are roadie.

@LuescherTeknik 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, we gets lots of small impact damage, due to the typically thicker laminate the damage doesn't propagate as much, so most are repairable.

Will paint crack if applied (in error) too thick?

Love a bit of mtb cut up. From memory that was a very pricey setup with XTR back.then. When.is a downtube not a downtube? When It's a flat.half a tube.on Raouls work bench.

I have an aluminium mountain bike, and my frame, fork, and cranks are wrapped in Invis. I wonder if a frame wrap would protect a carbon frame to make it much more resilient to impact?

I thought MTB frames would have much thicker walls due to all the rocks and stones hitting the frame. I guess not.

@LuescherTeknik 3 жыл бұрын

The wall thickness is more than typical of a road frame, a couple of extra plies can make a big difference to the reliability.

Do any manufacturers ever offer you a consulting position? Or try to hire you outright? You would think they would beat a path to your door to get your expertise.

@@samhe1521 EXACTLY!!!!!!! Carbon frames are a quality lottery and not designed to last if crashed or even dropped in some instances. They are made VERY cheaply made (with a very few exceptions) yet cost a great deal of money.

Brands dont yet understand social media. They put money into marketing hype for the Veblen Goods effect. Id say 90% of consumers want status over longterm durability. That is from 23 years working in the cycling industry. Example is ride a Reid with 105 brakes or the latest sworks with rubbing rotors.

Any idea of the manufacturer of the frame, Merida? As well as the quality I like to know which factory has manufactured it, I wonder if the manufacturer has a code on the frame perhaps internally? Seems to be a fairly positive review and Merida are meant to be second only to Giant in high quality frame production in Taiwan. Merida and Specialized are connected although I know some current Specialized frames are manufactured by fuji-ta but those may be all aluminium. I guess my point is we are assessing brand quality but many of the brands don't actually manufacture anything and may swop factories regularly. I'd like to know which actual factories manufacture the best frames. Giant, Merida, Quest Composites, Fuji-ta etc.

Unrelated question/idea for another video. Can you use pipe cutters for cutting carbon tubes eg steerers or seat-posts? 1. No, damages and crushes carbon structure. Use on metals only. 2. Yes if done carefully with high quality pipe cutters and not too much pressure. 3. It's always the best choice, much better than a hacksaw, even with dedicated carbon blade and a guide.

@jaro6985 3 жыл бұрын

That is going to cause delamination. Get a proper tungsten carbide hacksaw blade for $10, or use a fine tooth metal blade if you are cheap.

@LuescherTeknik 3 жыл бұрын

I do NOT recommend pipe cutters for carbon steerers.
