Hello,

Just a quick question. The rolled wrapped carbon fibre tubing, is there a smooth finish on it or is it kind of rippled?

Is there a plan in the company to supply 14/15mm as well?


In pultrusion, probably not. In our experience, generally, once the required diameter is up much beyond 12mm (with exception of the aforementioned fishing poles!) the loads on the tube tend to be less unilateral and therefore it gets harder to successfully use unidirectional pultrusions and more appropriate to use roll wrapped tubes. This is why we have the 'handover' between pultrusions and roll-wrapped tubes around the 10/12mm mark.

All the best, Matt
