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 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 chainstay/bottom bracket area, 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 older Cervelo’s have amazing ride qualities and we love keeping them on the road where they belong. Have a Cervelo that needs repair? Send it our way today!
