Hi,

I amplanning to build some carbon rails for a bike saddle. This consists of a rodcontaining multiple curves. I do have a CNC machine to create the molds forthis, but need some help on the best production method.

As materialthe braided sleeve seems to be a good option. These are available in carbon ora carbon/Kevlar combination which should be fine

I plan tomake the rails solid to obtain enough strength, but don’t know how to realize thisin combination with a proper epoxy-carbon ratio in the final product. Whatwould be the best production method for this? How to get everything in themold? I am familiar with hand-layup combined with a mechanical press and/or vacuum,prepregs, resin infusion but.

Hope anyonehas some expertise on this.

Thanks alot in advance,

Buuk
