Tuning Is it possible to remove a bonded carbon sleeve?

Not sure what epoxy you used but JB Weld releases pretty well when med-high heat is applied. Of course you've got a big bond over a long area. Not sure how well it would work. If it were me, I'd try to force hot air from a heat gun through the barrel, let it cook from the inside out. I have no idea how well carbon fiber reacts to high temps so be careful! Good luck.

Edit- on second thought...even if you got the liner removed, it might be so contaminated with glue on the inside that it may never slide over another liner.

For normal 2 part epoxy put it in the oven at 180 degree for a 10-15 minutes and it should slide right out. Then wipe down with paper towel and you should be go to go like new. 



Obviously don't use high temp epoxy or reinforced epoxy like JBWeld which can withstand 550F. Conventional two component epoxy resists up to 80oC (175oF) where single component epoxy resists 180oC (355oF).
 
I am always telling my friends please don't bond a CF tube to a liner, no real need for that. Some listening and some no.

This what I did:

- wash the liner clean and dry with acetone (or 90% IPA)

- place as many Dura90 orings you want, 3 or 10 or 20 if you wish. The 6x2 mm oring (or 6.3x2.2) in Dura90 is tough to pull on the 9mm liner you will see that. But a liner is dry these will never slide....

- clean the barrel inside walls from any remained residue and lube with some light and running silicon oil, better then a silicon grease. In example that silicon oil for lubing the treadmill rubber track.

- you will see that sliding in-out the liner feels resisting but still relatively easy.

So the liner is dry and the barrel tube internal walls are lubed. A Dura90 oring set will be tough enough to dampen the oscillations in the liner and you can still separate with some effort. The original FX design was 3 orings only in Dura60.

You listen or not, I did it this way


Interesting solution. Where did you order the o-rings from?
