Carbon Fiber

I have finalized my list for carbon fiber requirements, well at least what I think I need. Since there seems to be no method of estimating how strong a homemade CF structure will be, it isn't possible to effectively decide how many lay-ups of fiber you need. I am going to go with 5 layups to start and see how thing look. I am planning on using biaxial carbon fiber sleeves for most of the project along with West System epoxy. I wil be getting some sheets of CF for seat construction and additional reinforcement in a few of the critical areas on the frame. I believe the main stress points are the swing-arm attachment and shock area, the BB area and the head tube attachment. I will be ordering my CF from Soller Composites and the epoxy from Aircraft Spruce Canada. I already ordered a vacuum pump kit from ACP Composites so I can vacuum bag the layups. This method is supposed to create a much stronger component.
