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), ...
When you’re choosing carbon rims or a carbon frame, understanding the differences between UD, 3K, and 12K weaves can make a big difference. Each type affects weight, stiffness, and durability in unique ways. By learning how these fibers work, you can pick components that match your riding style, whether you’re aiming for lightweight performance, a strong frame, or a stylish finish. What Do 3K, 12K...
With the widespread use of carbon fiber bicycle frames, they are becoming more and more popular in the market. These bicycles are made of a blend of carbon fiber and resin and are well known for their strength, lightweight design, and durability. However, many riders still wonder: how long can a carbon fiber bike really last? This is an important question because buying a bike is a long-term inves...
A few days ago, while on another electric bike blog (I should never do this), I stumbled upon this article titled "Why don't you want a super high-speed electric bike". I will save you from the pain of reading this article and sum it up as "You don't want a super fast electric bike, because you should be a good boy\girl, do what you should do, so you don’t do it" Don’t Destroy it for the rest of u...
If you are paying attention to the landscape of new types of bicycles that are popular today, the explosive growth of electric bicycle types cannot be ignored. Just five years ago, electric bicycles were relatively rare and poorly understood. Now, there are more types of electric bicycles than we thought. Whether you are considering a gravel electric bike or a mountain electric bike, it is importa...
Choosing the right mountain bike wheel size can make a big difference in your riding experience. If you’ve been deciding between a 29er and a 27.5er, understanding how each performs will help you pick the bike that fits your style, terrain, and skill level. In this guide, you’ll get a clear comparison to make an informed choice, especially if you’re looking at carbon 29er wheels or carbon 27.5 whe...
Before choosing a carbon mtb bike, consider what makes a great mountain bike. First, make sure you know what tensile strength is. The tensile strength of a carbon filament refers to the force required to break the fiber. Most high-end models have a tensile strength of 700 ksi. Next, consider the stiffness of the frame. Stiffness is rated as low, intermediate, or high. Both of these factors will im...
