B. Understanding composites
All riders must understand a fundamental reality of composites. Composite materials constructed of carbon fibers are strong
and light, but when crashed or overloaded, carbon fibers do not bend, they break.
What Are Composites?
The term “composites” refers to the fact that
a part or parts are made up of different components or materials. You’ve heard
the term “carbon fiber bike.” This really means “composite bike.”
Carbon fiber composites are typically a strong, light fiber in a matrix of plastic, molded to form a shape. Carbon composites
are light relative to metals. Steel weighs 7.8 grams/cm3 (grams per cubic centimeter), titanium 4.5 grams/cm3, aluminum 2.75
grams/cm3. Contrast these numbers with carbon fiber composite at 1.45 grams/cm3.
