The Carbon fibre tube of the same weight as an aluminium or steel tube can be much stronger and lighter. Manufactured predominantly using high modulus (T700) unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre oriented to provide maximum strength in the lateral axis. Roll wrapped carbon fibre tubes offer superior strength in general use to pultruded tubes.
The use of unidirectional fibres and maximum strength in the lateral axis does mean that the tube is not as strong across its diameter as it is along its length so should be used in such a way as to avoid unnecessary crushing forces across the tube.
Roll Wrapping: The phrase roll wrapped refers to the process used to manufacture these tubes. The prepreg carbon fibre is first laid up around a mandrel in multiple layers. Once the reinforcement is in place, it is spiral-wrapped with heat-shrink tape before the whole assembly is oven-cured.
