frame that, in comparison to the prior art, provides industrial manufacturing and improved properties

The objective in this text is to provide a frame that, in comparison to the prior art, provides industrial manufacturing and improved properties.

This is achieved by a bicycle frame that is formed by at least one-half shells that are made up of a thermoplastic material that is fiber-reinforced at least in regions and a cover element that is also connected to the half shell and closes it. The half-shell can be made from a cost-effective method called the pressing process or integrated forming of an injection molding by using a thermoplastic material at short cycle times, rather than duroplastic content.

Also, to reduce the production costs in accordance with this invention, it would be preferable for the half shell and the cover element to contain a function integrating element. The frame should consist of a thermoplastic material which is a fiber reinforced in some regions and by a covering bicycle frame element and connected to the half shell bicycle frame element and closes the portion.

Swift carbon unveils lightweight frame reinforced by TeXtreme.

This text highlights the need for a comfortable, light, stiff, and fast bicycle and uses SwiftCarbon as the prime model that meets all the above credentials. The model uses TeXtreme spread tow reinforcement, a high-performance carbon fiber good whose main aim is weight minimization, performance enhancement and gives a smoother surface in further developed compounds. The producers believe in the use of crowdsourcing as this will give the engineers a better understanding of what people think about the preferred perspective of stiffness and weight in relation to their joint effect on comfortable bike riding. Mostly, high-end road bikes are made entirely from UD carbon fiber, which made it stiff and heavy, but with the use of this material, they were able to reduce the weight of the composite part. The new reinforcement reduced the quantity of raw material that is required in accordance with providing needed similar strength. The choice to do so with other brands has caused either too much use of fiber or the use of more stiff and brittle fibers. TeXtreme is known for its ability to reduce weights without reducing stiffness to create a more effective bike frame. Using TeXtreme offers a reduction in weight and increased rigidity and more significant impact protection.

Is it ethical to use advanced materials such as titanium in sports equipment?

This text addresses the use of advanced materials, mainly titanium, as a solid metal in sports equipment. The material which has a significant effect on the increased performance of transportation

Systems like cars and trains. Its features include durability, strength, stiffness, and reduced density. It highlights the need for performance enhancements in sports and uses the previous application of sports equipment fabrication to prevent injury and improve performance. For instance, shoes have shown significant improvements over the years, but it can be argued that development is more on comfort rather than enhancing development. There are so many references of individuals breaking records and performing a lot more efficiently using developed shoes. Another is the use of carbon fiber composite in pole vaults. Titanium rackets for tennis have been made to control stiffness and sizes of both the handle and head. The text goes on to acknowledge the application of titanium in various sports equipment, for instance for baseball, golf, lacrosse and horseshoes, darts, etc. raising the question if it would be fair to involve these advancements in other sports and ignore one, would it be considered a favor to the class of people excelling in the sport, and will it be available for all the sportsmen?

Design and manufacturing of hybrid flax or carbon fiber composite bicycle frame.

In this text, we understand that the carbon fiber compound frames were initially utilized in sports back in the 1980s. Due to the development of these frames, their compounds are now are commonly used in the manufacture of bicycles such that the reduction in weight and stiffness are considered to be very important. It is, however, unfortunate that this is a costly option, and its toughness has little impact. A good way of beating this is to hybridize carbon fiber with natural fiber. An advantage of using the composites is that the benefits of one example of the fiber can overcome the disadvantage of the other. With this in mind, a balance in cost, performance, and durability is possible via proper composite material design. The text uses findings of an experiment to hybridize flax fiber with carbon fiber in the bid to make a frame that has the same performance properties of the carbon fiber and the low cost, using the renewable factor of the flax fiber.

Moreover, the vibration damping properties of flax have led to better comfort. The findings of the experiments on the compound used to make the frame has shown that the frame has the same stiffness, if not higher, and strength with that of aluminum, carbon, and titanium while also showing superior vibration damping properties. These were all obtained with lows cost in comparison to carbon composite frames while also maintaining near fifty percent bio content.

The new design concept of a downhill mountain bike frame made of a natural composite material

This text will look into the frame design of the frame of a conventional mountain bike, which created from a natural compound. The text is based on research in accordance with a previous definite outlook of an element of the same characteristics and performance of a standard frame that is created from aluminum, this allows for a redefinition of the loading conditions and giving an optimization of design on the frame of the frame in various race situations. It was then executed with the characteristics of a natural reinforced composite. The findings that were figured out showed that the compound allowed for a minimization of the weight with rigidity when compared to the conventional frame made from aluminum. The objective is to figure out the durability, and overall performance that the MTB frame has that is strengthened composite when compared to traditional aluminum. It also looked into the frame’s load conditions to underline the worst-case scenario. Creating a hybrid solution from aluminum and the reinforcement would lead to a reduction in a quarter of the weight with the same safety coefficient. This would then lead to a reduction in the rigidity of the frame.

Carbon fiber lightens the e-bike load.

Electric bikes are becoming more popular as the days go by, and many brands wish to make an extra boost in the lightweight carbon fiber so that they can become a commonly used means of transport.

An excellent example of the bike is the EC1, which was made by the Canadian company Daymak, one that was founded in 2001 to give the public eco-friendly commuting solutions. The founder mentioned that the bike was the first cost-efficient 2-in-1 carbon fiber e-bike for the cyclist and commuter in the world, and it was an invention part of crowdsourcing in both Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

Another is Cyclotrone, which is considered to be a first-ever production bike without a hub, and that has an electronic gearbox and a very light space-grade carbon fiber composite frame. It is also the first to be spokeless in the technology of bicycle framing. It also uses aerodynamic wing-shaped tube profiles, which can cut through the air to reduce air resistance and turbulence. It is produced from space-grade carbon fiber composite, which aids in making it stiff and lights simultaneously. The designers figured that the use of carbon was a common theme when creating light wright vehicles where it has been used extensively when performance and speed are required.
