Hi, several questions in one here guys.
Would your Braided Sleeve be suitable for making tubing to be used for a Bike Frame. The tubes I have in mind are "Box Section ish" rather than conventional Round Tube. As yet I am undecided whether to use a mandrel type construction or a Mould and Bladder process. I have Vacuum equipment also.
Any advice on Fabric Weight and number of layers would be greatly appreciated. In fact any advice even if it is to say forget the idea!!!!!
I know this is not an easy one to answer with regard to structural strength etc but just some general advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Warren (wozza)
