Robert Lofthouse Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Pinarello http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2006/tour06/tech/?id=/tech/2 006/features/tour_bikes2or Trek ? http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2006/tour06/tech/?id=/tech/2 006/features/tour_bikes1Both reckon they make Exclusive use of "High Modulus" Carbon Fibre - Trek says their's is "Defense Grade", and Pinarello say their's is "special aerospace grade".
Icycling Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Lotus back in 1994. When I worked at Aerodyne and ran the Lotus bike line, A special really high modulus carbon was used for 1 bike. It was carbon that had been purchase for the SA space program. 5 x the modulus of what we used in the production bike.
AndreZA Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I would have to say that Time and Look, maybe Colnago, uses the best CF because their tubes are "old school" size and non of this ugly oversize crap.
E1A104 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Americans have the best BS by far & Colnago has the best CF (biased opinion no doubt!!)
GoLefty!! Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 modulus is the density of the weave.whoever gets as much carbon fibre into the frame and as little resin to hold it together has the best carbon fibre
