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...

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 ...

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 to have us inspect ...

Sometimes accidents happen, unfortunately, due to shipping instances. This Orbea Ordu arrived at Ruckus for repair after an immense shipping accident, in which both drive side seat and chainstays were completely broken through. Luckily, we've seen these repairs often before: they require immense patience when removing the damage, an accurate lay...

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...

Chainsuck sucks. Plain and simple. Dropping your chain can happen for several reasons from shifting under load to improper cable tension or limit setting. However, grinding up the chainstay/BB area no longer has to be the death knell of your carbon fiber bike! At Ruckus Composites, we pride ourselves on quickly and safely repairing carbon fiber...

As a brand, Pinarello has won at least 35 monumental 1st place victories in the last 65 years of its company history, ranging from Olympic Gold to the Maillot Jaune. With names like Indurain, Zabel, and Ullrich, their past harkens to a bygone era and more "traditional" (read: hush-hush doping) style of cycling. With a history so royal, ...

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 ...
