Forums DIY and Mods Splitting a Ride with array 3 carbon Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) Author Posts March 13, 2011 at 5:52 am #574545 mountainbikeak 82 Posts Just wondering if anyone has experience splitting a ride with the array 3 carbon? I’m thinking it should cut fine, any thoughts?

Wear a mask though. That dust is toxic. March 22, 2011 at 8:24 pm #637754 zoltan 6 Posts @silver wrote: Wear a mask though. That dust is toxic. Word. Carbon dust does bad things to your lungs.

The reason is that the carbon fiber is a weave under tension, when you cut them it can alleviate the tension and the board may rebound. The carbon fiber is structural and when certain pressures are changed it may not hold its original shape. Understand? I cut a board with carbon fiber topsheet and it “rebounded”; and the camber tripled! Needless to say it was a waste of a very nice board. YMMV Cheers!
