The Cervelo P5x is an unparalleled, performance oriented, high-end carbon fiber TT racing frame. Fully constructed from carbon fiber with discs, this is one of the most expensive frames money can buy and one of the fastest. And yet, accidents and carbon fiber damage can still happen. Luckily, we're here help with carbon fiber repairs when they do.

This part that secures the shifting mechanism to the frame seems like it should be of the burliest parts of the frame, but we all know that isn't quite so. Wether or not the replaceable derailleur hanger is "designed to fail", as some claim, cos...

Now here's a repair case we see often enough (damaged toptubes), but with a delicate and somewhat terrifying spin. One of our customers traveled to Cozumel, Mexico in order to compete in an Ironman event. Upon arrival, he promptly unboxed his bike and re-assembled it for some spin sessions in order to shake out the legs pre-competition. During o...

Handlebars: completely necessary to the safe operation of a bicycle, yet frequently the bane of a frame's existence. This carbon fiber Cervelo P2 arrived at Ruckus for repair after the dreaded handlebar strike.
