Toptube damages are of our most common repairs on carbon fiber bikes and for a number of reasons. Top tubes are of the thinnest areas on the bike, both for weight and vibration reduction, so they're already vulnerable on a material level. However, many of the damages we see to this area are work stand and not crash related. Yep, you read that co...

People ask us all the time: "Is it even worth it to repair my bike?". Well, we have questions back in return. Does it fit you well? Did you enjoy the ride quality when it was not broken? Do you potentially want to upgrade many parts? What is your crash warranty price and how does it affect your budget? The long and short of it is, Yes, we believ...

Dropout Repairs are one of our specialties at Ruckus. They require an immense amount of patience both before and after the repair process occurs. First of all, we need to fully investigate the amount of damage using ultrasound technology (because anything else is mostly guesswork). This allows us to find exactly where the carbon is damaged so we...

Like we've been saying recently, MTB season brings tons of "oops" moments when out on the trail. Most often these little slips or crashes are just that...little, and have no overall effect on your bike. Or body, for that matter. This Trek Superfly SS came into the shop after one such little slip, where our customer bailed off the bike, turned th...

So you've purchased a modern and expensive (...worth it) road bike and you had a small, yet compromising crash to your brand new bike. What do you do? You have a few options: you can trash it (sad face), you can contact the company who made your bike and attempt the crash replacement warranty (potentially time-consuming and cost prohibitive), or...

Let's face it, accidents happen. Even if you have one of the nicest production carbon fiber bike frames in existence, impact damage can still break your frame. That is exactly the case with this Trek Emonda SLR; impact damage busted the chainstay a few inches up from the dropout, so our customer sent it to us for a quick repair.

Normally, the lunch ride is a beautiful thing. Some of us are lucky enough to take a break for an hour, kit up, chase some wheels and mess around with friends and co-workers. It's nice to burn off all that extra coffee energy and earn your lunch while you're at it. Friendly competition (read: hammer throwing and sprints) always seems to be part ...

Crashing your carbon fiber bike and damaging it is one thing, but when someone accidentally knocks it over and damages it...well that's a whole other story. Luckily, we repair any and all makes of Trek bikes, so a damaged downtube no longer has to permanently retire your bike. At Ruckus Com...

With much wider tires and lower pressure comes the ability to shred more and lean farther. This mentality directly correlates to crashing, however, and that's exactly what happened with this Trek Farley. This carbon fiber repair focuses on a broken seatstay which occurred on a wash-out through a berm.

The off-season is the perfect time to repair a busted carbon fiber bike frame. For may of us, cyclocross is an out-of-sight out-of-mind kind of discipline; arriving and leaving in a fervor mostly destroying all gear in its path. That's exactly the case for this Trek Boone frame: our customer sent it to us after months of neglect, hanging lowly a...
