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 ...

This Felt B16 arrived for carbon fiber repair and we were able to turn it quickly, cleanly and safely for our customer.

Talk about an unfortunate repair! This carbon fiber Focus Izalco came in for repair after being rear ended...on our customer's rack! He was sitting in traffic when all of a sudden, WHAM! The rack's holding mechanism was putting pressure on the toptube and the resulting collision left substantial impact damage. First things first, we gave the ent...

This repair case is extraordinarily special to us, and also heartbreakingly tragic. We received a Cannondale Supersix Evo recently from a family who lost their father on a normal Sunday morning group ride after he was struck from behind by a car going 65mph. His name is Greg, and here's a bit on who this incredible man was: "Dad loved everything...

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.

Fortunately, we're able to save almost any carbon fiber structure, so this headtube was a common repair for us! This one required immense patience when removing the damage, an accurate layup, and usually an interesting way of extracting the resin fr...
