magnesium ain't as strong as alloy.question if carbon fibre is stronger than steel how come they don't make bolts with it

Because Carbon Fibre makes very strong tubes, because the fibres lie in a lattice, so you couldn't make bolts out of it without the threads being really weak, because you can't lay a lattice of strands of carbon round sharp edges.

The "Magnesium" used in bike frames and parts is an Alloy, it's made from mixing Magnesium and Aluminium.

Hence "mag-nalium"
