Andrew, I believe that all carbon wheels are constructed in China or Taiwan with the exception of the Campy Bell wheels. I do not know where they're made. But they are all made from the same pre-preg cloth from Japan.

Interesting as the U.S. makes as much carbon fiber as the next three
companies (Japan, China and Taiwan) combined.

John - that carbon fiber is used for making aircraft. What bicycles in the world do you believe to have been manufactured using American carbon fiber? There is a minute American CF industry outside of the aircraft industry.

Goodness! You mean that all the American companies that make carbon
fiber make airplanes?

What abut ZOLTEK, founded in 1975 in St. Louis, and lists their
products as being used in the: Automotive, Wind Energy, Friction
Resistance, Civil Engineering, Marine, Sporting Goods, 3D Printing,
Oil and Gas(off shore) Drilling, Pressure Vessels, and several other
fields.... not a mention of Aircraft.

Or are you wrong once again?



cheers,
