When buying gloves buy something that feels a bit too tight when you try them on in the shop as they stretch out to fit your hand and not bunch up.

You are already riding bikes with aerospace carbon fiber. The actual fiber is the same as what's used in aerospace. Example: Toray T1100 is the world's strongest fiber and used in both bikes and aero. T1200 coming and will be 10% stronger. What's different is mainly the resin and the process of making the bike. Note I could argue some of the bike parts I've seen are actually more complex and high performance than many aerospace manufacturers would/could make. It's impressive how far we've come in this industry.

You looking specifically at that pic? If so, that’s not his bike in the pic. He’s just unloading it. In other pics from the same day, he’s on his usual bike. But to confirm- levers are not flat enough, bars are rolled back, no stem spacers for that high stack, old fork, no ochain, diff tire set up. Sorry I rambled. Dif bike haha Now in regard to ochain… I’m definitely curious about that! He was the main guy prototyping higher/different degrees… and now it’s Sram. So it’ll be interesting to see how that’ll play out

What thermoplastics allow us to melt away the matrix to be left with just the fibres. I guess you could either chop those to be a filler or recycle them (make new fibres), but you are for sure not picking up a cloth from the bunch of fibres and reusing it. As I see it (without being in the know) it's mostly component separation that's the benefit here vs. resin matrix materials than the "reuse" type recycling. Reusing old polymers is frowned upon anyway outside non ctiritcal applications as you don't know the state the polymer is in. These are...

Are thermoplastics commercially viable though? GG and Forge + Bond are both in the toilet. Did anyone make it work?

What if it was commissioned at a price point that became entirely unviable in the USA due to tariffs and got remarketed as China only?
