Hi All,
So all very new to this, but fancy giving this a go! I have watched quite a lot of videos on various different processes and techniques and from other similar projects.
Current plan is...
1. Create custom jig from wood \ 8020 strut or such
2. Buy pre-made carbon tubing
3. Mitre and glue tubes together
4. Re-enforce joints with wet layup
Couple of questions on the above...
- Is roll-wrap tubing available from the website suitable for bike frame building?
- Is not does anyone know where to buy some, I have found one maybe 2 sites in the US and they are super expensive!
- Is making you own tubing viable, given the required accuracy?
Cheers,
Andy
