What’s worse is that when carbon fiber fails, it fails spectacularly. While other materials might simply buckle or bend, carbon fiber can shatter into pieces, sending riders flying into the road or trail. And this kind of catastrophic destruction can … Continue reading →

How do you make a canopy stronger? Use either bungee cords or thick, strong rope to secure the canopy to the tent stakes. Throw one end of the rope over the horizontal bar that is the edge of the roof. … Continue reading →

With a single contact with the ground while running, a chainsaw can become very dull. This is because the ground contains sand and dust which is abrasive and contains a lot of tiny rocks. To avoid such occurrences, avoid cutting … Continue reading →

What you’ll need: Shock Cord (1/8″ or smaller). You need at least the length of all your poles combined. My poles were 152″ each, I bought 30′ (or 360″ of cord). What size shock cord do I need? What type/width … Continue reading →

Use shears or an X-ACTO knife to cut the fiberglass. Move your ruler or t-square to the line of fabric you want to cut. Using heavy duty shears, an X-ACTO knife, or a similar precision blade, cut a thin, straight … Continue reading →

Carbon fiber is a low density material with a very high strength to weight ratio. This means that carbon fiber is tough without getting bogged down like steel or aluminum, making it perfect for applications such as cars or airliners. … Continue reading →

Polycarbonate is a poor choice for laser cutting. ABS Emits cyanide gas and tends to melt ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on … Continue reading →

Is carbon fibre waterproof? Yes, carbon fibre is water proof – when cured properly and sealed. What are the advantages of CFRP? Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer advantages It has high fatigue resistance and the flexible carbon fibres crack far less frequently … Continue reading →

wiffle ball. Instead of using the felt-covered balls that you’d find in tennis, pickleball uses plastic balls with perforated holes instead. Most would refer to this kind of a ball as a “wiffle ball.” These balls move through the air … Continue reading →
