Gizmag Comment Feed: Wire Bike uses carbon fiber and Kevlar cables http://www.gizmag.com Super light structural materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar have incredible natural strength in tension but are much weaker in compression. A good example of this is how the carbon fiber suspension on a formula one car can resist several tons of downforce but explodes when crashed into a barrier. The concept of tension has been a familiar sight in large engineered structures such as suspension bridges and now the same concept has been applied to a bike frame. en gizmag.com Comment on 'Wire Bike uses carbon fiber and Kevlar cables' by Re Keeyop http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-72955 http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-72955 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:32:42 -0500 Comment on 'Wire Bike uses carbon fiber and Kevlar cables' by ultralightcomposites http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-37774 http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-37774 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 22:18:46 -0600 Comment on 'Wire Bike uses carbon fiber and Kevlar cables' by Facebook User http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-26467 http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-26467 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 19:06:37 -0500 Comment on 'Wire Bike uses carbon fiber and Kevlar cables' by Einar Jón Gunnarsson http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-17401 http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-17401 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:17:46 -0600 Comment on 'Wire Bike uses carbon fiber and Kevlar cables' by ELV http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-2407 http://www.gizmag.com/wire-frame-bike-carbon-fiber-kevlar-cables/11187/#comment-2407 Mon, 18 May 2009 15:47:23 -0500
