The Cervelo P5x is an unparalleled, performance oriented, high-end carbon fiber TT racing frame. Fully constructed from carbon fiber with discs, this is one of the most expensive frames money can buy and one of the fastest. And yet, accidents and carbon fiber damage can still happen. Luckily, we're here help with carbon fiber repairs when they do.

For many of us, MTB season is nigh after the heat and smoke of summer has passed. Personally, we at Ruckus love getting into the woods and mountains for some great tacky trails and changing leaves right about now. Also for us, it's not if we crash...but when. Luckily, we're here to fix any of your woes resulting from an mtb "oops". Well, bike related woes, anyway.

Normally, the lunch ride is a beautiful thing. Some of us are lucky enough to take a break for an hour, kit up, chase some wheels and mess around with friends and co-workers. It's nice to burn off all that extra coffee energy and earn your lunch while you're at it. Friendly competition (read: hammer throwing and sprints) always seems to be part of the lunch ride experience, maybe beca...

Downtube repairs are some of the most common 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.

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. He was always happy and the most givin...

Carbon fiber bike frames keep evolving to meet the near-infinite demands of many riders; look at the recent developments of flat mount brakes and all-hydro everything as two examples of this progression. Another recent addition to the everythingness of bike tech is mounting chain catchers on road frames. This Fjui Transonic's chain catcher snapped off and took a large chunk of the car...

For those about to rock...we repair you! Carbon fiber bicycle frames, though very strong, can be highly susceptible to localized impact damage. This frame arrived from our friends at with a crack in the downtube from a rock that flew up and made impact with the frame during a road ride. Sometimes the smallest objects can still do lots o...
