What is the best type of carbon? 1k,2k,3k, or 12k?
Well, I am about to explode a myth.
The "k" refers to the weave of the fiber and is usually only on the surface for cosmetics. In order to provide some precision when laying up a frame all inner layers are typically UD, or unidirectional. There is no strength or stiffness difference between the weaves REGARDLESS of the propaganda issued by various companies. How do I know? I design this stuff for a living.
If it really made a difference then jets and race cars would also use woven material and it would be used on multiple layers but they don't and it isn't.
