Hi,

I'm after a structual adhesive for a brake torque arm on a motocross bike. We currently make these in alloy but I would like to try a Carbon Fiber one. 
I'm planning on using CF tubing with machined 6082 alloy inserts set into each end, to allow the fitment of threaded rose joints. The alloy inserts will be anodized, before fitment.

The brake arm, and inserts, will be under tension everytime the brake is applied, and the suspension moves. (which is quite a lot on a motocross bike!) Obviously, I don't want the ends pulling out of the tube, as that would be very dangerous.

What adhesive would be best? ET515? (I'll be using this for another project I'm working on) ET500? Or is there something else/better I should be looking at?

Thanks

Stevie

Hi Stevie

Sounds like an interesting project and good to see another bike chap on hear, just one thought and thats how would the carbon tube perform under impact ? plenty of rocks and lots of other nasty things to hit the torque arm. I had a torque arm fail on a road bike it it was not a good experiance.
