New Product Introduction: Polymer Fiber Ti-Fi Rope Spokes
We know that there are three high-performance fibers in the world today: carbon fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber and aramid fiber. They have many excellent properties such as ultra-high strength, ultra-high modulus, low density, wear resistance, low temperature resistance, UV resistance, shielding resistance, good flexibility, high impact energy absorption, and resistance to strong acids, strong alkalis, and chemical corrosion. They are widely used in many industries and are currently the preferred materials for making bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, and protective armor. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber and aramid fiber are polymer fibers. The famous Kevlar is a type of aramid fiber.
In the bicycle industry, the above three materials are also top materials for producing bicycle spokes. Carbon fiber spokes and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber spokes are currently in use and widely known. Today please allow us to introduce a new bicycle spoke made of polymer fiber material - Ti-Fi Rope Spokes.
This Ti-Fi Rope Spoke was developed by Goosynn Technology, a local bicycle sports company in Xiamen, after over 2 years of hard work, tested numerous times with a wide variety of materials, finally completed this creation. Ti-Fi spoke weighs only 2.2g (270mm). The metal parts at both ends of the spoke are materials of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, which is an alpha-beta titanium alloy with a high specific strength and excellent corrosion resistance. The body of the spoke is made of polymer fiber materials. The joints of polymer fiber and titanium alloy are combined with a special mortise and tenon structure, which is extremely tight. This structure has been patented. For more parameters of this spoke, please step to: www.nextie-oem.com/polymer-fiber-rope-spoke
High strength is the first element of a good spoke. In the technical test, Goosynn Technology increased the spoke tension in the wheelset to 678Kgf, which is about 6644N. The carbon fiber rim gradually broke, but the Ti-Fi rope spokes remained intact. It is enough to see the excellent performance of this Ti-Fi spoke in strength. The specific strength test report of the Ti-Fi rope spoke will be introduced in detail in another article.
In addition to high strength and ultra-light weight, what other advantages do Ti-Fi rope spokes have compared to traditional steel spokes and carbon spokes?
Given the characteristics of the materials used to make Ti-Fi rope spokes, the spokes are corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant, long-life and have good flexibility. Due to its amazing flexibility, wheels equipped with Ti-Fi rope spokes will greatly improve the comfort of riding, especially long distance and rugged terrain riding. This is the most prominent feature that distinguishes it from steel spokes and carbon fiber spokes.
Next, we will use this spoke on our professional wheels to improve the overall riding experience. You may expect more product updates related to this Ti-Fi rope spoke, especially wheels.
