Giant has posted a video explaining frame testing protocol within the bicycle industry and it is really rather fascinating.
You have to wade through a bit of manufacturer propaganda, but many of us have heard it all before (and I rather like Giant’s road bikes) so it’s not that bad. Once you sift through the subjectivity you’ll see that there are some cold hard facts and some interesting insights into how all these data points that we are bombarded with are actually created – and why some companies test the way they do.
So, have a peek and see what you learn – I’ll bet there’s something new in there you didn’t know before. Enjoy:
