Speaking of bicycles, carbon fiber and aluminum alloy materials are currently the two most commonly encountered materials in bicycle manufacturing. For aluminum alloy materials, most people are familiar with them, and many people have not touched high-end carbon fiber materials. There is no concept of the strength comparison between the two. Customers often ask which aluminum alloy or carbon fiber...

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...

Carbon fiber is not a single category Carbon fibers come in various forms: raw filaments or sheet fibers (continuous fibers) and short fiber fibers, which can be used as sheets or chopped very short fiber clumps. The chopped fibers are used in products like pedal bodies. The sheet style is the most common in bicycle frames, what it sounds like: a continuous sheet of carbon fiber (called a layer), ...

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 ...

Today's best carbon composite front forks (often called "carbon fiber front forks") weigh on average about one-third of steel forks and half of aluminum forks. Therefore, it is no wonder that the proportion of front forks you see in mass-produced bicycles and aftermarkets is getting higher and higher, and they are all made of carbon. Compared with installing lighter wheels, installing carbon fiber...
