Carbon fibre tube

Any body purchased carbon tube before? Where from?

Need to extend my wheel guard stanchions to fit some proper tyres on the front of the riot.

Cheers
Phil

Decent model shops will stock it for use in competition kites. Most Flexifoil stockists will have it

Have you used them?


And good idea for the kites!

Plenty of suppliers on eBay. I use quite a lot for building drones. The quality seems to be pretty consistent

I need 16mm ID does £14 delivered sound about right for 500mm?

Depends on what the wall thickness is and if the tube is pulltruded or roll wrapped.

2mm and roll wrapped
