Hardtail MTBs: are they hard to ride or ar well all hard on them? In any case, all carbon MTBs tend to take a beating due to the nature of where we ride them. This On One carbon repair came in from a local fast guy singlespeeder for an ultrasound inspection below the seatstay/seattube junction. He'd been riding it for about a year and a half, and after the scan, we found the cracking ...
