The main type of carbon fiber used for the manufacture of bicycle parts are normal tow (under 12000 fibers) carbon fiber, like T700, or commonly known as 3k, 12k weave, and UD(uni-direction) carbon fiber. Bicycle components, especially carbon fiber frames and rims, are made of various grades of carbon fiber. The main feature is its tensile strength and tensile modulus. The tensile strength is the ...

What is EPS? EPS stands for Expandable Polystyrene System. It is one kind of the new technology to produce carbon frames. When we use the traditional technology to produce carbon frames, we need to make the material into separate pieces during the layup. However, using EPS process allows us to make carbon frames in one piece and make them lighter and stronger. EPS production process is in an effor...

At the Paris Olympics, China continued to provide athletes with equipment tailored for cycling and triathlon. For example, the chariot used in women's individual events adopted a radical aerodynamic tube design to maximize the compression of the windward area of the tube and reduce wind resistance. The gap between the front fork and the wheel was also compressed to a very small gap. The rear fork ...
