Abstract:
A hollow composite bicycle component is provided that basically provided with a hollow metallic member, a fiber-reinforced polymer member and a heat-ductile member. The fiber-reinforced polymer member is positioned inside the hollow metallic member. The heat-ductile member is positioned inside the fiber-reinforced polymer member, with the fiber-reinforced polymer member being adhered to an inner surface of the hollow metallic member. The fiber-reinforced polymer member is preferably adhered to the inner surface of the hollow metallic member by disposing the heat-ductile member with the fiber-reinforced polymer member disposed on the heat-ductile member within the hollow metallic member, and then heating heat-ductile member to expand the fiber-reinforced polymer member into contact with the inner surface of the metallic member.
