Manufacturing Methods Compared
| Method | Advantages | Limitations | Typical Bike Parts |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Machining | Unparalleled accuracy, versatility in materials, consistent parts | Higher cost for small batches, setup and programming time | Handlebars, custom gears, precision brackets and mounts |
| Metal Stamping | Fast production, cost effective for high volumes, enhanced metal properties | Less precision, not ideal for intricate designs | Chain guards, metal badges and logos, some frame components |
| Welding | Creates strong joints, flexible in joining shapes and sizes | Aesthetic challenges, heat can alter metal properties | Frame assemblies and joined structural components |
We supplied a wheel hub for a racing cycle at the 2012 London Olympic Games, which remains one of the clearest demonstrations of what our zero defect approach means in practice.
Custom Bike Parts FAQ
Which method suits a custom handlebar?
CNC machining, because accuracy and material consistency matter more than unit cost on a component the rider depends on.
Can you anodize bike parts in colour?
Yes, anodizing is one of our standard finishes and is well suited to aluminium bike components.
Do you take small orders from bike builders?
Yes. Small batch machining exists for exactly this kind of work.
