This new carbon fiber Specialized Roubaix came in for repair recently after one of the all-time scariest crashes on the road: slamming on train tracks. Our customer wiped out during a corner after losing grip whilst turning across a set of them. Luckily, it was not a heavy traffic time!...
Orbea ORDU Seatstay & Chainstay Repairs
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...
Trek Domane SL 8 Seatstay Repair
So you've purchased a modern and expensive (...worth it) road bike and you had a small, yet compromising crash to your brand new bike. What do you do? You have a few options: you can trash it (sad face), you can contact the company who made your bike and attempt...

.jpg)
This repair case is extraordinarily special to us, and also heartbreakingly tragic. 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...
Trek Farley Seatstay Repair

Trek Procaliber Seatstay Repair

For those of you unfamiliar, this means crashing over you handlebars while still clipped into your pedals with your legs then arching over behind your back. Ouch. We're seriously thankful...
Orbea Onix Seatstay Repair
Let's face it, accidents happen when we least expect them. For this repair case, our customer was pedaling slowly and testing out his shifting before departing on a ride. He was looking down at the gears moving and didn't notice the curb approaching, slowly falling over onto it. Thankfully, he...
Specialized Crux Seatstay Repair
While many currently say that #crossisgone, the ghosts of races past sometimes never leave. Some even leave seemingly indelible traces on our minds, bodies or frames. This carbon fiber Specialized Crux cyclocross frame is a remnant of seasons past. A local customer arrived one day (a few weeks after our...
Trek Madone Dropout and Seatstay Repair
One thing we've learned here at Ruckus is that every bike has a different story, and many people choose repair over purchase of a new bike for sentimental reasons. This Trek Madone carbon fiber bicycle frame showed up with a pretty heavy story behind it. This particular bike was a...
Colnago C60 Seatstay and Dropout Repair
Unfortunately, we see many carbon fiber bike frames damaged in the shipping process. It's disheartening because this can happen even when a frame is correctly packed and padded in the box. Opening a new bike box only to see a cracked frame is absolutely heartbreaking. This Colnago C60 frame came...
