PASCULLI ROOF-RACK FRACTURE
UncategorizedClient was told this German made Pasculli frame was not safe and needed discarding! Not in the least. This is wasteful. The down tube was fractured on both top and bottom near the BB. Once a recess was created and carbon layups applied the frame is back to the happy customer who needed it for […]
JUNE 2013 NEWS
UncategorizedAs the Summer season rolls in the number of bikes coming through CBR is increasing. There are all types of crashes and breakages. So far all repairable! Many cyclist are saying how good it is having a Carbon Repair workshop servicing the South East. Bikes come in from as far as Bristol. We are getting […]
CYFAC MULTI-FRACTURE REPAIR
UncategorizedThis hand built French bike, apparently one of it’s first runs, got reared by a Range Rover. Snapped off the right chain stay at the BB, cracked through the rear brake arch and later I discovered a crushed section of seat tube. Photos show repaired parts. This was a tricky repair due to the hard-to-reach […]
VINTAGE SPECIALIZED DISTORTED FRAME
UncategorizedAn old Specialized was brought to me with an incorrectly bonded frame causing the rear wheel to rub. I wasn’t sure I could repair it but as it turned out the parts all came away eventually with no damage and I was able to re-set the frame as well as bond other areas to ensure […]
S-WORKS CHAIN STAY REPAIR
UncategorizedHole-through caused by chain popping off the chain ring. Several layers later and it’s 100%. As the area was a black colour around the BB, I thought it best to coat it in black instead of my usual protective lacquer coat. All good! Very very light frame wow!
COLNAGO CHAINSTAY CRACK
UncategorizedI see an awful lot of chain damage to carbon bikes. More then crashes. Make sure your derailleur’s are adjusted to stop a ‘little’ early. Sometimes a heavy gear selection (particularly on the front derailleur) can pop the chain off the chain ring causing damage. It’s a simple fix. At least I managed to save […]
BOARDMAN CARBON MTB
UncategorizedNot sure I should be saying this but unless this bike was a ‘Monday bike’ I am not sure I’d like to be ramping off mountains on this. There seemed to be an awful amount of filler in the chainstay end. I would have preferred to see carbon there!
TREK MADONE FRONT FORK CRACKS
UncategorizedThis one baffled me. I don’t usually repair forks but I looked as if it was a manufacturing problem/ Monday bike. The client was heading to the Alps and wanted a solution as Trek do not sell front forks apparently? He was stuck as he bought the bike on Ebay. He left it against a […]
TREK MEDONE 6 SEAT STAY AND DROPOUT REPAIR
UncategorizedA side impact on the dropout and damaged seat stay. The dropout was pretty distorted but I managed to re-align for the hanger. Luckily. If that was cracked then it was a new frame. Seat stay had damage from the chain on impact so a profiled layup secured that issue. I managed to save the […]
HOW TO BUILD A CARBON BICYCLE SEAT AND RAILS
UncategorizedAnother seat project at snails pace due to other commitments. Design based on SMP carbon seat by Sella. I have added more curve for the pelvic area on the mold plug. Will only know when I ride on it for a few hours. This way I can always add more material to reduce the curve […]
