Bike Top Tube
Expert-level Bicycle Top Tube Production Services
Beginning with the production of OEM bicycle tubing, Thai shun offers expertise in a variety of metal tube forming techniques and provides a wide range of services, from raw tubing materials to completed goods. We are able to process round, square, and special-shaped tubes—especially those needed for the bike frame top tube—by using hydroforming technology.
Besides connecting the head and seat tubes, the bike frame top tube also has a significant impact on both the overall structural stress and the riding experience. Thai Shun offers top tubes made of aluminum alloy with anodized surfaces for superior corrosion resistance, significantly lowering the danger of rust and increasing product longevity. Our custom aluminum pipe fabrication method uses tube drawing technology to produce smoother inner walls and equal tube thickness distribution, reducing fatigue fractures caused by stress concentration. This improves strength while obtaining a lightweight advantage. The goods maintain their strength and durability under demanding cycling or off-road situations, satisfying strict specifications for the production of bicycle components. These technologies guarantee accurate measurements, less weight, increased performance, strengthened structures, and eventually meet a variety of client needs.
