The present invention relates to lining hoses with at least one seamless tubular inner foil and the at least one curable layer comprising at least one fiber ribbon impregnated with a curable resin for the renovation of fluid carrying pipe systems wherein the tubular inner foil is in contact with the resin impregnated fiber ribbon respectively the resin impregnated fiber ribbons and comprises functional groups and/or an armoring or reinforcement on the surface which, after installation, is oriented towards the resin impregnated fiber ribbon respectively fiber ribbons.

A composite laminate includes two composite layers, at least one metal mesh of high strength and high capability of absorbing impact energy, and multiple unidirectional fibrous layers, wherein the metal mesh and the unidirectional fibrous layers are disposed between the two composite layers. By adding the metal mesh to a composite laminate for making parts, such as front forks, frames, and seat posts of bicycles, an interlocking structure can be formed in the composite laminate. Due to the metal mesh having high strength and toughness, a part being formed of the composite laminate will have a high strength and an enhanced impact resisting capacity and thus can be prevented from brittle fracture. Furthermore, with the metal-reinforced composite laminate, a failure of the part can be warned at an earlier time, so that the part can be prevented from catastrophic damages, thus ensuring safety for users.
