Sniffer. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. With all the different forces on a bike, including torsion, you need to have a balanced fiber orientation. But yes, having a unidirectional layup is the strongest, but only in ONE direction. Braiding is the best way for bikes. Adding uni where it is needed.
I thought carbon fiber was at its strongest when it wasnt braided - i.e. all fibers in one layer oriented in the same direction, then if you want fibers oriented in another direction, add another layer. I dont like time`s methods, although their forks get good reviews
no wonder, only time paints CF parts: they're french. give the bicycle to a cyclist: that's a proper test.
