Bike parts are super important because they directly impact how good, safe, and comfortable your ride is. Good brakes, gears, and frames make your bike run smoothly, stop reliably, and avoid breaking down, which means more fun and fewer hassles for you. However, what truly defines a superior bike part? It’s a combination of premium materials, craftsmanship, and rigorous testing. Let’s check it out now!
At BRILLAR PRONTO, we use years of experience and advanced equipment to ensure every bike part we make is top-notch. Before buying, we encourage you to check out our carefully selected materials and quality checks. Now see how we set the standard for bike part production.
What Material Does the Bike Part Take?
SHINE SOON uses lightweight and friction-resistant materials to reduce riding burden and get the longest lifespan possible. Here’s a quick rundown of the materials in common use.
1. PA (Polyamide):
Description: A tough plastic known for being strong and durable.
Uses: You’ll find it in bike pedals, derailleur housings, and other parts that need to handle a lot of stress.
SHINE SOON’s Specifications: A tensile strength of around 50-80 MPa makes it suitable for long-lasting bicycle parts.
2. PP (polypropylene):
Description: A lightweight plastic that resists chemicals and wear.
Uses: This material is often used in bike fenders, bicycle bottle holders, and grips—parts that don’t need to be super tough.
SHINE SOON’s Specifications: Its density ranges from 0.89 a 0.91 g/cm³, resulting in lightweight bicycle components.
3. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):
Description: A strong, impact-resistant plastic.
Uses: It’s common in bike helmets and some frame parts that need to absorb impacts.
SHINE SOON’s Specifications: A tensile strength of approximately 40–60 MPa with the capability of withstanding demanding cycling conditions
4. TRU (Thermoplastic Rubber):
Description: A flexible material that combines the best of rubber and plastic.
Uses: Perfect for bike grips, handlebar tapes, and parts that need to absorb vibrations.
SHINE SOON’s Specifications: A tensile strength ranging from 8 a 20 MPa provides excellent elasticity and impact resistance.
5. Aleación de aluminio:
Description: A mix of aluminum and other metals to make it stronger.
Uses: You’ll see it in bike frames, handlebars, rims, and seat posts. It’s lightweight and strong.
SHINE SOON’s Specifications: A favorable strength-to-weight ratio, with tensile strengths ranging from 200 a 450 MPa.
6. Titanium Alloy:
Description: An alloy made from titanium, known for being super strong and light.
Uses: High-end bike frames, seat posts, and parts where you need both strength and low weight.
SHINE SOON’s Specifications: Use i-6Al-4V with a tensile strength of approximately 900-1000 MPa with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
7. Carbon Fiber:
Description: A material made from carbon fibers woven into fabric and set with resin.
Uses: Found in high-performance bike frames, forks, y wheels because it’s really strong and super light.
SHINE SOON’s Specifications: A high strength-to-weight ratio with tensile strengths reaching up to 3,500 MPa, providing improved power transfer, vibration damping, and overall performance.
Other Materials in Bike Parts:
Acero: A classic choice for bike frames and components, especially in lower-end bikes. It’s strong and affordable.
Magnesium Alloy: Used for lightweight parts like wheels or frames on some high-end bikes. It’s light and strong.
Rubber: Found in tires and grips to provide traction and cushioning.
Ceramic: Used in high-end bike bearings. It’s durable and reduces friction for smoother rides.
Stainless Steel: Used for bike cables and fasteners because it doesn’t rust and is really strong.
Different materials are picked based on how much strength, weight, and cost they need to balance for each bike part.
Quality Control in the Bike Part
Quality control in bike parts is all about making sure each component is reliable, safe, and performs well. Here’s how it typically works in SHINE SOON:
Type Test
Tensile strength measures how much force a material can handle before it breaks. For bike parts, a strength of 50-80 MPa means they can last a long time without breaking. Also, PA (Polyamide) is really light, making bikes easier to ride and control. Lightweight materials make the bike faster and more nimble.
Constant Temperature Experiment
This experiment checks if bike parts can handle different temperatures. By putting the parts through hot and cold conditions, we ensure they won’t get damaged. This test guarantees that the bike works well no matter where you ride it.
Programmable TEMP HUMID Chamber
The TEMP HUMID Chamber tests how bike parts stand up to salty and humid conditions. This is crucial for places near the ocean where salt can cause rust. By simulating different climates, we can see if the parts will last a long time, even in tough environments.
Microcomputer-controlled Electronic Universal Test
This test uses a computer to check the strength of bike parts. It measures how well they stretch, compress, and bend. The detailed data from this test helps us know if the parts are strong and safe for riding.
Low-temperature Test
This test checks if bike parts can still work when it’s really cold. If you put the parts in freezing temperatures, they don’t become weak or break, which means the bike parts are good. This ensures your bike will work well even in winter.
Manual Pressure Testing Pump
Technicians use this pump to manually apply pressure to bike parts like brakes and suspension. By controlling the pressure, we make sure the parts can handle the stress they’ll face when you ride.
These tests help ensure bike parts are tough, confiable, and ready for any riding condition, keeping you safe and your bike in great shape.
