Does anyone make carbon fiber frame covers?
1 Attachment(s)
I am after a carbon fiber cover for the frame area highlighted here. Does anyone know if they are available or willing to make a set for a fee?
Attachment 23597 The reason i want it is, I squid in shorts a fair bit because it is often ridiculously hot here and this bit of frame often gets quite hot on bare legs (yes squiding is stupid you dont need to tell me) If someone knows of another suitable frame cover (other than jeans or leather pants :P ) i'd like to hear your ideas. cheers |
Like this i guess, but different section

cheers, i saw that website but i cant tell if it is the right part of the frame as there are no pics. i have emailed them. But i would think it would be for the long beam to the headstem - since there does seem to be alot of them available

FWIW, I bought a set of the ones featured in the link, seller has posted new ones for sale, so it seems they will henceforth be available for anyone wanting some.....
|
ah so you're the bastard that bought the last one haha
thats good there'll be more. |
yes, that's me, been looking for a looooooooooong time... there are more listed now......

Hey Mikstr, how did you get the center covers to fit on the frame? Did you use a heat gun to expand the carbon fiber? I'm having some troubles.
|
They're not a perfect fit... I had to do a bit of trimming (some of which was for the sliders) but they are ok....
|
Killemall,
remember, the welds on each frame was slightly different (fat weld beads, wide weld beads). You might have to accommadate for that. |

Thanks for the feedback guys. I appreciate it.
I'm struggling with the area shown in the pic. The lower carbon fiber beam is too narrow and won't fit on the frame truss. I need to expand it some how. Thinking of trying with an heat gun but probably it wouldn't work. The epoxy is thermoset. I guess the last resource would be to trim it a bit. |
