Four popular bicycle frame materials are steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber. Beryllium, Metal Matrix Composites and other materials have so far demonstrated limited practicality in bicycle frames. Mysterious and seemingly miraculous beryllium is one-third the weight of aluminum and six times as stiff as steel.his is another reason to look for metal frame parts (such as dropouts) that are made of titanium rather than aluminum if you are shopping for a carbon fiber bike. Discontinuity of materials can create stress-risers where the carbon fiber meets the other material. The stress-risers can lead to failure.
Thank you for your insights. In layman's terms 7005 is stronger than 6061 (for bicycle frame building applications almost a parallel between chromoly and high tensile steel). The extra strength of 7005 allows for thinner wall thicknesses and therefore a lighter frame.Butted and double butted aluminium tubes are usually 7005 for this reason.or those in the know, is there any significant difference between 6061 and 7005 aluminum alloy tubing that might create a superior frame for say cyclocross?
