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...

We see A TON of different bikes here at Ruckus, and we're constantly surprised at some that show up. This Focus Izalco Max AG2R edition arrived for carbon fiber repair with a crack in the seatstay. Upon picking it up out of the box, we noticed how light it was...726g! Then we noticed the livery and wondered if, in fact, it was a team bike. Upon ...

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...

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. Seattube repairs are some of the most common repairs we pe...

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...

One of the things we pride ourselves on here at Ruckus is our ability to return great bikes back to service and to give them a new life entirely. This Guro Photon repair started with a broken dropout, but our customer wanted to take advantage of our full custom capabilities. WE chatted back and forth via a few email paint mocks and once we decid...

Unmistakably Belgian, the Merckx EMX 3 is an endurance-type, carbon road frame designed to battle the elements and harsh roads of northern Europe. However, brutal accidents can happen and damage even the most robust of carbon fiber frames. This specific Merckx arrived for repair after our customer toppled over and damaged the toptube. Fortunatel...

Here at Ruckus, we think all carbon fiber bikes are worth of repair, however, the truth of this is sometimes self-evident. Some bikes are absolutely always worthy of repair, especially when they are limited edition. This Colnago C60 limited edition arrived with a broken toptube...of course we were gonna save this one.

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 following a long ride on a hot day. That post-summer-r...
