Frame Support Cradle | Carbon Care

Carbon-Care Frame Support Cradle – Type A

The Carbon-Care frame support cradles are manufactured from solid steel rod to eliminate the high frequency vibrations at the frame contact point whilst driving at speed over corrugated roads.

These advanced frame support cradles are covered in a special rubber profile that has a very wide contact area, is super flexy, very tough yet gentle. Just perfect for use on thin wall hydro-formed alloy and unidirectional weave carbon fibre frames.

None of the commercially available rubber compounds and profiles satisfied iSi’s demanding requirements for high UV resistance, vibration isolation and wide and soft contact. So, we designed and extruded our own custom rubber that is head and shoulders superior to every other bicycle carrier product on the planet. This is the only rubber product in the world that has been specifically designed for bicycle carrier applications.

A special section soft, supple and super durable rubber compound is specified on the contact layer with the bicycle frame. Along with generous thickness and wide, flat contact area, the special rubber acts as a highly effective vibration isolator. This special iSi rubber compound activates with vibration and the wide contact area exhibits mild adhesive properties so that the contact patch on the bicycle frame remains in contact at all times for zero rubbing.

Any movement is taken up inside the rubber support layer for the maximum support and protection of the bicycle frame and pressure on the frame all but eliminated. The ultimate protection for titanium, carbon and thin wall alloy frames.

The iSi Carbon-Care frame support cradles are available to be configured for left or right handed operation. The A configuration has the corner clamp tee-knob positioned for:

• right-handed operation when the frame support cradle points towards the operator
• left handed operation when the cradle is pointed away from the operator

Simply choose which orientation you intend to use the frame support cradle, which hand you favour and select either this A configuration or its mirror image partner, the B configuration.
