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 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, and 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 (broken part), 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. These Trek Emondas are absolutely amazing bikes and we’re thrilled to save each and every one.
