It seems like the micro-balloon fillet may be making the joint weaker. The bond between the prepreg and the tube is only going to be 'so' strong, and the fillet only reduces the bond area. Also, since it might not be able to handle too much compression, the glue joint fails and then the tube is free to leverage the prepreg off of the other tube and itself. <br /><br />Do you think if the joint was so strong that the tube failed near the joint, that the joint would be too stiff?<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26817114.post-6313369525321678512013-10-25T18:27:54.215-07:002013-10-25T18:27:54.215-07:00That first photo of the BB layup reminds me of a p...That first photo of the BB layup reminds me of a pic I took here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4dJcrTMQiSUyjXXH22nxs3RWV7WeAOLuIWGEhgmfQbk?feat=directlink<br /><br />Mine was co-molded with resin infusion, hence the dry fiber, but the fiber orientation looks similar. <br /><br />Beautiful frames! Your layups look awesome! <br />Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836806841599139785noreply@blogger.com
