It lists the resin it uses, but I do not know if that affects the ability to use it with other epoxies. Also it is 12k, but I don't know if that will make much of a difference. Does anyone have any opinions on this tow? It much cheaper per yard than anything else I have found.
You don't need 5,000 meters of carbon tow....unless you plan on building like 5 bikes. I don't know about 12k tow, I've only used 3k. It might be a little bit harder to work with because it is larger.
