CNC Bicycle Parts
Ever wonder why pro cyclists and serious riders are obsessed with CNC machined components? The difference isn’t just marketing hype — it’s measurable performance you can feel with every pedal stroke. Our precision CNC manufacturing creates bike parts with tolerances down to ±0.005 inches. This microscopic precision translates to components that fit perfectly, function flawlessly, and transfer power more efficiently than mass-produced alternatives.
We craft everything your bike needs — from bottom brackets and cranksets to brake calipers and chainrings — using Materialien that deliver the perfect balance of weight, strength, and durability. Our specialty is working with premium materials that standard manufacturing struggles with — aircraft-grade aluminum alloys (6061 and 7075), titanium 6AL-4V that’s lighter than steel but just as strong, performance steel 4140, and advanced polymers. The result? Components that aren’t just lighter — they’re more reliable, responsive, and durable than what came stock on your bike. The difference isn’t something you just see — it’s something you feel with every ride.

What are CNC Bicycle Parts?
CNC machined bicycle components are precision-engineered parts manufactured using Computer Numerical Control technology that removes metal from solid blocks to achieve exact specifications. This subtractive manufacture process produces superior dimensional consistency, repeatable quality, and enhanced mechanical properties compared to casting, forging, or traditional machining methods. CNC equipment eliminates human error while creating complex geometries impossible with conventional parts fabrication techniques.
Why Precision Machining Makes Bike Parts That Simply Work Better
- Insane Precision: Our multi-axis CNC systems cut parts with accuracy from ±0.005 inches down to ±0.0005 inches for bearing surfaces – that’s about 1/10 the thickness of a human hair
- Smart Material Use: We strategically remove material where it doesn’t affect strength, creating parts that are lighter without sacrificing durability
- Impossible Shapes Made Possible: Our 5-axis machines create those complex curves, internal passages and undercut features in single setups that would require multiple operations otherwise
- Perfect Consistency: Unlike hand-finishing, our computer-controlled process ensures the 100th part matches the 1st one exactly
The magic happens when we translate detailed CAD designs into G-code — basically, digital instructions that guide cutting tools along paths accurate to microns. Our shop isn’t limited to basic machines either — we run everything from 3-axis mills for simpler parts to advanced 5-axis systems for those complex components, plus CNC lathes that handle everything from tiny fasteners to complete frame sections. When bikes have components this precise, you feel the difference immediately in how everything just works together.

How does Our Precision Machining Process Work?
Our CNC machining process begins with comprehensive design analysis using SolidWorks and AutoCAD software to optimize manufacturability and identify potential engineering issues. CAM programming converts designs into efficient tool paths while selecting appropriate cutting strategies, spindle speeds, and feed rates for each material type. Setup procedures include workholding selection, cutting tool preparation, and machine calibration to achieve specified tolerances.
Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process
- Design Analysis: DFM evaluation identifies optimization opportunities for cost and performance

CNC Bicycle Parts FAQs
The frame typically represents 30-40% of a high-end bicycle’s total cost, with premium titanium or carbon fiber frames ranging from $2,000-$8,000. Frame costs reflect precision engineering, advanced materials, extensive testing, and complex manufacturing processes required for safety under extreme riding conditions. Custom bicycle parts with integrated features like internal cable routing and aerodynamic shaping add manufacturing complexity that increases price significantly.
We achieve ±0.002 inches (0.05 mm) on bottom bracket threads and bearing seats, with standard bicycle components held to ±0.005 inches (0.13 mm). Ultra-precision bearing races and threaded interfaces can be maintained to ±0.0005 inches (0.013 mm) using our advanced CNC equipment and CMM inspection capabilities. These tolerances ensure perfect component interface, reduced wear, and optimal performance throughout service life.
Prototype components require 3–7 days from design approval to completed parts, depending on complexity and material requirements. Production runs of 100-1,000 parts typically take 1–3 weeks, while larger quantities require 3–6 weeks, including secondary operations like anodizing or heat treatment. We maintain common material inventory and offer expedited processing for urgent requirements when production schedules permit.
