There's nothing we enjoy more than upgrading an older bike with some new swag. In this instance, our customer brought us a 2011 Sworks Epic that was already meticulously cleaned and maintained. However, they wanted to take it one step further and internalize all the cable routing through the frame. Needless to say, it looks gooooooood.

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 here to fix any of your woes resulting from an mtb "oops". Well, bike re...

It's that time of year again, the crisp cool air, the falling leaves...the mountains are calling! Tacky trails can sometimes inspire overconfidence in the berms, and that's what happened to our customer on this repair. They lost it in a corner, cracking their seatstay. Seatstay repairs are some of the most common repairs we perform; they require...

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. This Cervelo arrived for carbon fiber repair and we were able to turn it quickly and cleanly. At Ruckus Composites, we pride ours...

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! These accidents are scary and have the potential to mangle ...

Here at Ruckus, we personally think every bike is worth saving. Most often, even with older frames such as this carbon fiber Specialized Roubaix, repair is still going to fall below the price point of replacement. Furthermore, nothing can replace the memories and great times directly related to the time spent on the bike. So when this showed up ...

The Specialized S-Works Torch is a limited edition model created for the Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro this past summer. The idea behind its creation was to replicate the "pinnacle of sport" and to symbolically represent the idea of a growing flame using thermochromic paint. Thermochromic paint, quite literally from the "greek" for heat and "c...

Press fit bottom brackets have many benefits and a few downfalls, one of them being the ability to bore out or crack over time. Luckily, we're able to perform a simple PF30 installation on many carbon frames. We take tubing supplied by ENVE, cut it delicately to the width needed for any given BB area, and adhere it cleanly into the frame. No mor...

While many currently say that #crossisgone, the ghosts of races past sometimes never leave. Some even leave seemingly indelible traces on our minds, bodies or frames. This carbon fiber Specialized Crux cyclocross frame is a remnant of seasons past. A local customer arrived one day (a few weeks after our Oregon season ended) with a frame broken f...

The beauty of the modern carbon fiber bicycle partially relates to the cleanliness of the frame. Additions and innovations such as flat mount discs, through axles and internal cable routing contribute to the clean aesthetic. Although incredibly good looking, many advancements still have some kind of downfall. In this case the internal c...
