A new material of carbon fiber

Carbon fiber as a high-tech materials using the recently ten years on a bicycle. Strictly speaking, carbon fiber is not pure carbon, but carbon element through a mixture of woven processing after the use of epoxy resin adhesive and reinforcement. The early carbon fiber due to technical reasons above, epoxy resin using even decomposition in the sun. With the progress of science and technology, the excellent material was gradually overcome the shortcomings in the. Such as Germany's K frame using carbon fiber grade 16K, the carbon fiber strength than steel, and has a commitment to quality lifetime warranty.

From the appearance we can easily distinguish the frame. The rough style, other wild aluminum frame; the tube body slender, skinny full steel; and that there is no painting, exude a metallic luster is titanium frame; the surface of carbon fiber is covered with a variety of 3D fabric surface, very modern.

Characteristics of carbon fiber frame is light, does not bend, shock absorption, however, give full play to the excellent properties of carbon fiber, the technology does not look so easy, quality differences between the carbon fiber material factory is large. Bicycle manufacturers to take into account the cost, carbon fiber is unlikely to make use of high level frame. Although there are real problems mentioned above, but carbon fiber frame or other material has the advantages of no, can produce 8, 9kg

Lightweight bicycle around the carbon 27.5 rim, climb slope can best embody the advantages of smooth and refreshing, ascent. But not like some light aluminum alloy frame, climb slope felt a pull back force.

Carbon fiber is the forming resin solidification of carbon fiber. Very light, but it is a direction of the material (tensile strength but easily broken), so the method of thin layers of overlapping to solve the disadvantages.
