Just a quick on really.. looking at getting a new frame in the new year alot of the ones I like are carbon (full suspension) im not the lightest rider about 100kg just wondering if carbon frames have a weight limit like carbon ridgid carbon forks do..

Any help is appreciated :-)

    Some do, like some parts and some forks, not all.

    A good carbon frame that has been well made will be stronger than the equivalent aluminium frame. Weight shouldn't be an issue with carbon if well made

    So aslong as I go for a reputable brand I should be fine? Been looking at Giant Trance X, Titus Carbon frame and a few others :-)

    Thanks for your help guys :-)

    Not sure I'd put those two in the same category - biggest manufacturer in the world and a niche brand sold in a warehouse in Yorkshire!

    If there are weight limits they'll be printed, you'll be fine on the Trance, and I'm sure the Titus will be fine.
