Cyfac Carbon | Custom Carbon Fiber Frames Video

This video demonstrates Cyfac's carbon stratification process using a combination of Kevlar, Taffeta, 3K and 1K carbon weave. All Cyfac frames are hand-built in the company's Loire Valley factory in the French countryside.

@baralah Most ...
@baralah Most brands have moved to the "buy" instead of "make" approach and don't actually construct their own products at all. Instead, they go to Asian suppliers who have either open-moulds or proprietary moulds which they then use to make the mass-produced varieties of frames in monocoque fashion. Cyfac is largely focused on custom and well-tuned framesets so having someone else make our products doesn't fit this ethos. We control the design, the fabrication, and the? finish.

@baralah This is ...
@baralah This is actually "tube-to-tube" construction. It differs from lugs in one important way - there isn't the set angle that lugs dictate so the ability to set custom geometry? is unmatched (just like you'd do with a cut and mitered metal frame). Additionally, our construction method here requires the use of carbon stratification at each tube intersection - this gives the chance to change that lay-up in terms of the material, orientation, and amount to "tune" the frame for each rider.

please correct? me ...
please correct? me if I'm wrong. Most manufacturers have moved away from this 'lug-to-lug' construction, is that correct?

The tubes are ...
The tubes are preformed in our moulds? according to a variety of different specs/criteria for the usage. The black stuff is special epoxy that's mixed with some carbon for tacking purposes and a small amount of structural function. More is put on than what remains once a variety of prep steps happen before the kevler-carbon stratification. So, the weight is really minimal while the integrity and durability is fantastic.

Really interesting. ...
Really interesting. So the tubes are preformed carbon fibre? What's the black gooey stuff that's put on the joints before the additional reinforcement is added? Is it simply epoxy? glue? Doesn't that add to the weight, or is it special stuff? So many questions!!

Very interesting ...
Very interesting carbon fiber porn?

The metal? bb shell ...
The metal? bb shell is actually covered with kevler initially...

carbon fibers? ...
carbon fibers? aren't supposed to come in contact with any metals it cause eventual decay.

@nadoeloiskat most ...
@nadoeloiskat most handmade bike frames, unless built for pro-teams or collectors (Which can turn a huge profit per bike, $10k-20K per? unit) never really turn a huge profit margin for the builder. Added component parts generally can give the builder a profit on markups.

that bottom bracket? is reinforced to the absolute dickens.

nice to see them being built these works of art! I was? wondering what kind of glue is to support all the stress! Ascolta Trascrizione foneticaDizionario - Visualizza dizionario dettagliato

Looks like a lifewasting job.. I? hope it pays financially back.

i have been riding a cyfac? nerv carbon (alumn lugs, nerv carbon tubes) full custom for 7 years now. its brilliant!! mysterious mix of compliant yet stiff, very resonsive yet not harsh or twitchy. on rides people acuse of me demonic descents and never slowing down for corners... its not me - its the bike :) i can't say enough good things about it, or the US distributor eric sakalowski.

i hope i get to use ...
i hope i get to use this technology someday? in an aircraft. custom hand made.

wow! This is the MOST detailed video of how to fabricate a Carbon Fibre bike? I have ever seen! thank you for sharing!

What type of ...
What type of adhesive are you using to tack the tubes? in place?

What type of glue ...
What type of glue are you tacking the tubes together with??

You are putting ...
You are putting aluminum bottom bracket in direct contact with the carbon fiber. The plastics reinforced with carbon fibers can induce galvanic corrosion in attached aluminum structure. not? a good idea. Wrap a layer of glass over the BB, will ya.

We are using Kevlar for its resistance to cutting/shearing/breakage as well as its unique properties for dealing with vibrations. It ensures a level? of structural integrity and resistance to breakage that cannot otherwise be attained.

so.., why put a ...
so.., why put a kevlar/carbon layer down first, when about all the good it's going to do is add abrasion resistance..? if you want kevlar anywhere surely it'd be on the outside...

As a? mechanical engineer and bike lover I find this really inspiring. Cheers!
