1. frame bicycles are light-weight and have a fiber frame
that is non-metallic and composite. The material is
known to be strong, corrosion-resistant, light-weight,
and in great demand. One of the major advantages of
fiber is that it can take any desired shape, and can be
used for multiple purposes.
2. The Frame Advantage A frame bicycle can be custom-made in such
a way that it is strong at places where it needs to withstand pedaling
forces, and the material allows flexibility in sections where it needs to
be comfortable Usually, the lateral tubes used in frame bicycles are
strengthened, while the vertical ones are compliant This liberty can
be achieved only with fiber frames, and is difficult to achieve with
other frames
3. The Designs A frame bicycle makes use of cylindrical tubes joined
with lugs and adhesives for the frame These materials have a high
density and strength, and are manufactured in a single piece
sometimes, and this process is called monocoque construction
However, monocoque frames have low resistance and are prone to
damage in case of a crash
4. Such bicycles with a frame that is made of fiber can be spotted in
many places, especially in many triathlons and individual time races,
as the material can be molded to give these cycles an aerodynamic
shape and look This type of frame is heavier than others and is
aerodynamically efficient, so that the bicycle can achieve higher
speeds with greater stability Optimizing The Frame Technology At
times, materials like metallic boron is added to fiber in order to
increase the stiffness
5. A high end frame bicycle has Kevlar fibers that help in improving the
impact and damping strength in chainstays and downtubes fibers
have 1/4th the density of steel and have greater mechanical
advantages
