For many of us, MTB season is nigh after the heat and smoke of summer has passed. Personally, we at Ruckus love getting into the woods and mountains for some great tacky trails and changing leaves right about now. Also for us, it's not if we crash...but when. Luckily, we're...
Felt F3 Seattube Repair

Accidents happen, and sometimes we don;t even know that they have. That's the case for this Felt carbon fiber repair; our customer knocked over their bike and continued to ride it for a year. After a while, the carbon simply failed due to high-stress loads on an already compromised tube....

It's that time of year again, the crisp cool air, the falling leaves...the mountains are calling!

Seatstay repairs are some of the...
Specialized S-Works Tarmac Chainstay Repair
Chainstay repairs are some of the most complex repairs we perform; they require immense patience when removing the damage, an accurate layup, and usually an interesting way of extracting the resin from the laminate.

Colnago C60 Toptube Repair
Here at Ruckus, we think all carbon fiber bikes are worth of repair, however, the truth of this is sometimes self-evident.

Pinarello Paris Toptube and Chainstay Repairs
This carbon fiber repair case came to us as the result of a dreaded roof rack accident striking again. These are more common type crashes than you think and undoubtedly devastating to the structural integrity of the frame. This Pinarello Paris repair came into the shop after such an accident...
Specialized Roubaix Seatstay Repair
This new carbon fiber Specialized Roubaix came in for repair recently after one of the all-time scariest crashes on the road: slamming on train tracks. Our customer wiped out during a corner after losing grip whilst turning across a set of them. Luckily, it was not a heavy traffic time!...
Filament Tandem Inspection & Refurbish
Normally, we don't feature cases that are mostly inspection-based, but this one happens to be an exception for such an incredible bike. This custom carbon fiber tandem arrived at Ruckus after a dreaded roof-rack-meets-garage-door-frame type accident. The fork almost disintegrated and so the customer thought it was a wise idea...
