Chainstay repairs are some of the most complex repairs we perform; they require immense patience when removing the damage, an accurate layup, and usually an interesting way of extracting the resin from the laminate. This Cervelo arrived for carbon fiber repair and we were able to turn it quickly and cleanly. At Ruckus Composites, we pride ourselves on quickly and safely repairing ca...

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-ride haze is real! Since the frame was al...

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 layup, and usually an interesting way of ex...

Chainstay damages are of the most common repairs we take on, and each and every one is unique. Chain slap, rock or various road debris or a crash can and all have been culprits of this damage.

The Specialized S-Works Torch is a limited edition model created for the Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro this past summer. The idea behind its creation was to replicate the "pinnacle of sport" and to symbolically represent the idea of a growing flame using thermochromic paint. Thermochromic paint, quite literally from the "greek" for heat and "color", is a type of paint that changes c...

This carbon fiber Felt AR frame arrived at Ruckus after an incredibly unfortunate event, that being a double chainstay fracture. It sounded like a pretty terrifying accident but luckily our customer was able to walk away unscathed, well save for the bike, that is. The owner of the frame installed two oversized, aftermarket pulleys into the derailleur, hoping for improved shifting perf...
