Hardware
Bike Frames
Element Six Bikes "Our Triathlon frame features high modulus T700 carbon fiber. Our Road frame features both T700 and M30S carbon fiber for a high-performance combination. T700 carbon is used by most of the major bicycle manufacturers. M30S carbon, originally designed for F1 racing cars, features tightly woven fibers that retain less resin helping to create a very light frame with excellent stiffness. Both our road and triathlon frames are made using a modular monocoque construction technique, meaning that the front triangle and rear triangles are molded as individual pieces. The pieces are then fused neatly together."
Wheels
Wheelbuilder.com "Our goal is to provide extremely high quality products and services through careful quality control and parts selection. Every wheel, whether hand built by us or factory purchased goes through a rigorous measurement, inspection, and adjustment process."
