Carbon Fiber Wheels Have the Advantage of Reducing the Weight of a Bike
Forging a carbon fiber wheel begins with a CAD drawing and then a proprietary injection process. Each wheel is molded and then undergoes rigorous testing and inspection to ensure structural integrity. The wheel's strength-to-weight ratio is tested with a high-pressure leak test to make sure that no part of it has been compromised. Once the wheels have undergone this rigorous process, they undergo spin testing to ensure strength-to-weight ratio and dimensional stability. During the manufacturing process, carbon fibres are formed into the internal structure of the wheel using automated operations. Once this process is complete, the carbon fiber components are quality-checked and assembled into a tool for resin infusion. The result is a rigid, yet lightweight, wheel. And because the material is so strong, it is durable and light despite its high weight and brittleness. Consequently, the carbon-fiber wheel can withstand potholes and extreme temperatures. To make the wheels as durable a
