德國 EFBe 的車架測試

先秀一個1997年10月的報告

The results in detail: The test divides in two halves. First 100,000 cycles at a 1.200 N load are to be completed. Then the force is increased to 1.300 N and the frames are subjected to 100,000 additional cycles. As soon as the computer registers larger breaks, the test is terminated. It is important to note that the damage potential of the second level is clearly larger than that the first level. A frame that completes both levels is therefore substantially better than one which breaks after 100.000 cycles. However, altogether the racing frames show high efficiency. Compared with "simple" leisure bikes, all frames tested have a good standvermoegen. Three particularly light frames are very good: Cannondale, Principia and Trek passed through the test without breaking: the machine was stopped.
