Neat and strong and much cheaper than buying a new one; I think the repaired bits are better than the originals. Also gave me email updates on how the work was going which was kind of fun. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18901#post-284552 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:34:32 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 284552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cheers folks, I'll pass that on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18901#post-284548 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:08:55 +0000 Colin 284548@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a guy out near Alloa who repairs carbon frames. I think his name is Andrew Wilson, but you’ll get confirmation of this, and his contact details from The Bicycleworks.</p> <p>Good luck.</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Colin </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18901#post-284543 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 20:54:17 +0000 Cyclops 284543@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's likely repairable although it can be expensive if you want it done properly (which is obviously highly desirable). Both <a href="https://carbonbikerepair.co.uk/">Carbo Bike Repair</a> and <a href="http://www.carbonfibresolutions.co.uk/">Carbon Fibre Solutions</a> have good reputations although there are other repairers </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18901#post-284541 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 20:33:27 +0000 crowriver 284541@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think carbon fibre frames can be repaired safely. There might be stress cracks in the rear triangle which could fail catastrophically at a later date. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18901#post-284538 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 20:22:41 +0000 gembo 284538@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That is a shame. No idea if can be fixed. Sorry, just commiserating as no one posting </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18901#post-284525 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:14:09 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 284525@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone know about carbon frames and their 'fixability' or even better, can recommend some to do said repairs. </p> <p>A pal's rear mech broke and took some frame with it!</p> <p>Photos here: Check out @seansauzee’s Tweet: <a href="https://twitter.com/seansauzee/status/1006222291917828098?s=09" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/seansauzee/status/1006222291917828098?s=09</a> </p>
