bikeperson45 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Just saw this on Facebook and thought people here would enjoy the picture. Some new 2011 carbon frames It's bonded and all that then left to cool for 24 hours... The second picture only seems to appear when you click on it Edited February 10, 2011 by bikeperson45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leistonbmx Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Carbon frames aren't like balloons. You don't blow them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Carbon frames aren't like balloons. You don't blow them up. Actually, a lot of carbon fibre moldings are done using vacuum bags, which is a lot like a ballon. These frame components would have been done in closed molds though.

Leistonbmx Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I meant as a whole part, as opposed to being glued together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Actually, a lot of carbon fibre moldings are done using vacuum bags, which is a lot like a ballon. These frame components would have been done in closed molds though. Surely vacuum bagging is the opposite to a balloon!? In matched die moulds which these frame parts have been made with they apply high pressure to get the material to conform to the mould surfaces. So they are kind of blown up like balloons.

Fixed Pants™ Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 They're bladders that they use to inflate inside the tubes to get the shape... Got 2 of those frames at my shop atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
