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.
At Ruckus Composites, we pride ourselves on quickly and safely repairing carbon fiber bike frames. It is our continuing mission to use carbon fiber repair to challenge the status quo of both the bike industry and throwaway culture by keeping good bikes and their memories rolling.
Our proven carbon fiber bike repair process goes like this: first, we inspect the damaged area using ultrasound technology, removing all the guesswork from the repair. The detailed info we gather helps us provide an incredibly accurate repair with fewer materials needed, which makes a quicker turn time for you! Next, we remove all the damaged materials from the seatstay, which guarantees no further cracking. We then replicate the factory lay-up using our high-end prepreg carbon fiber and cast the area with heat and pressure to remove the epoxy. Finally, we send the bike to our master painter who expertly matches both the paint and decals of the original frame.
Carbon fiber bike repairs are delicate and time-consuming art, in which we perform every step by hand. Have a Trek with a broken seatstay? Head over here and submit a repair form. We’ll get you fixed up in no time.
