Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A shaft 6 has a plurality of full length layers s 2 , s 3 , and s 6 to s 9 . The full length layers have full length bias layers s 2 and s 3 , and full length straight layers s 6 , s 8 , and s 9 . The full length straight layers s 6 , s 8 , s 9 located outside the full length bias layers s 2 and s 3 include a novolac-containing layer. In the novolac-containing layer, a content Rn of the novolac type epoxy resin is 3% by mass or greater and 19% by mass or less. If an average specific gravity of the novolac-containing layers constituting the full length straight layers is defined as S 1 , and an average specific gravity of the full length bias layers and inside of the full length bias layers is defined as S 2 , the specific gravity S 1 is greater than the specific gravity S 2.
