Re: Carbon Fiber Structural Integrity
I work with composites in the America's Cup.
You need to try and get hold of what spec of carbon cloth was used in construction. Also the construction method i.e pre-preg or wet lay up carbon, female or male moulded. With the answer to some of this I can help you. Pays not to speculate too much on composites, too many cowboys out there !! Cheers.  |

Re: Carbon Fiber Structural Integrity
That kind of info will be hard to come by. The forks I am looking at (except the Amoeba which has a carbon steerer) have no tags or boxes whatsoever. So It'll be quite impossible to answer your questions. Thanks for the help bud.
*You might be wondering why I don't have a carbon fork yet.....I still haven't really convinced myself that the generics won't fail on me! :P |
