not GGs patented/pending process, but the material they got from aerospace industry or wherever,

mavic's wheels :

and trek's big unveil thingy,

are they all the same material?

now that i'm writing it down, it seems less likely.

watching Andi's STW newsdesk thing just got me thinking...

I've noticed that you cant actually discuss cycling on a cycling forum.

Based on pretty much nothing, I imagine that Trek have developed an alternative to carbon fibre that is fully recyclable (no plastic)

oh yeh? could be good.

they've succeeded in getting it talked about anyway it seems. as this thread doesn't illustrate!

does fully recyclable mean no plastic necessarily. obviously there are lasty of recyclale plastics, but it's the polyester resin or whatever they use that is problematic in carbon fibre? or is it more mechanical; separating the carbon and the resin?
