More Carbon Fiber Test Samples
Well, some more carbon fiber test samples for mountain bike frames this time.
It should look pretty much identical to the other test sections – because it is, on the outside at least. However, the head tube is twice the thickness, and the down tube is internally built up to twice the thickness at the head tube end. We’ll see what this translates into on the strength and stiffness side of things. This sample is also sporting a waxed ‘raw’ finish that I think we will try on some frames. The next frame is going to be a carbon fiber singlespeed 29er mountain bike with titanium eccentric hardware and dropouts.
