Why not use much less expensive glass fiber? Compared to steel it would still be much stronger, lighter and be manufactured in one piece, without welds.
- tinco 13y agoPerhaps glass fiber is not rigid enough? Also, I think the only reason carbon fiber is so expensive is the manufacturing cost, if you're paying for the machines anyway, perhaps the cost isn't that much higher.
