Lyndall Robinson — Engineering & Design

I don’t really think in terms of stiffness targets. I think about load paths—how forces move through the frame, how they change over time, and how the bike is going to feel hours into a ride, not just in a single moment. Carbon gives you the ability to tune that, but it’s not formulaic. It’s more like woodworking than metalworking. Small changes in orientation or layering compound very quickly, especially where the tubes meet. That’s where the real work is.
