Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows what the new(ish) requirements are for frames to comply with in order to be sold in the E.U.? Like stress testing / weight / fatigue capability etc.
Just purely out of interest, would be interesting to know what frames are capable of.
Ta!

Yeah, I cant find any specifics though, when I search the specific EU standard thing (EN 14766:2005) it comes up with sites but you have to buy the official paper to look at it and the test methods they use on new frames...Carbon 456... http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/8854609/0

I think I remember seeing the info on www.ragleybikes.com as they posted the test results for the original blue pig frame, can't get on the Ragley site at work to check though.0
