Carbon Fiber Replacement Rack Tubing from Carbonlite
 January 6, 2001Carbonlite Products is introducing new lightweight carbon fiber tube kits
for direct replacement of standard steel rack tubing, with over 75% weight savings compared to
steel. The tube kits feature "ready to use" pre-cut carbon fiber tubes, complete with end
caps. Carbonlite tubing has a proprietary construction that is pressure molded using high
strength carbon fiber composite materials. The tubing has a non-slip carbon fiber weave
finish.
Three standard tube kits are available for retrofit of existing steel rack tube systems: Basic
Rack (single front tube), L-Rack (front tube plus single side extension), and C-Rack (front
tube plus left and right side extensions). The carbon fiber tubing is interchangeable with
1.5" diameter steel tubing for use with existing rack clamps and hardware. Carbonlite tube
kits allow players to keep all the advantages of their current rack setup while reducing weight
for ease of transport.
Carbonlite Products also provides complete rack systems in several standard configurations,
furnished with required rack clamps and hardware. For more information, visit their web site at www.carbonlite.com. |
