  • HIA Velo walks us through their factory and shows how they make their Allied Cycle Works carbon fiber road bikes. This all access pass shows the entire process, from start to finish, with nothing off limits for our cameras! Ever wonder how they make a carbon bicycle? This video is for you!

    Truly amazing they sell enough of these to keep this massive operation open here in the USA.

    Very cool look behind the scenes....... however it makes my old school love of aluminum even greater.

      Aluminum, old school? Steel is real.

    Reminds me of when I went through Cannondale years ago but they were welding aluminium

      Been there a couple of times. It's ashame all that talent got put out of their jobs and nowhere to go to continue their trade. I've owned 3 Cannondale bikes but after they sold out I got rid of my Scalpel and vowed never to buy another Cannondale.

    How are the male mandrels/preforms removed from the inside of the cured part?

    А эти рамы имеют допуск UCI? судя как там делают рамы, на видео их собирают впервые, так как скорее всего там работают азиаты и завот находится где то в Китае.

    This was great. They look like they've really got their process dialled. Don't understand why they clear coat and then paint? Anyone know?

    Amazing how the Chinese have perfected Mass production of Carbon Frames

    • @PoltergeistWorks
      @PoltergeistWorks 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      "Perfected" is a strong word here :) They perfected putting out more and more frames but the frames themselves are not so perfect. Carbon frame building still is not automated and very much hands on and as with everything hand made you can't really get the same quality if you do something fast and in big numbers.

    Really like the video. It has real depth compared to GCN's new stuffs.

    • @torma99
      @torma99 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, because they make 10-11 mins at a factory, obviously you are not a GCN regular, if you're trying to insult me a comment like that. What I was saying, that this video had much more depth I think, they showed a little bit more than GCN does.

    • @charlesmansplaining
      @charlesmansplaining 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@torma99 For GNC it's just about the click numbers for the them to collect the cash. I got to hand it to Allied for going into so much detail, I think it helps to sell bikes, it surely makes me want to buy one of their bikes.
