This bike took a big hit under the bottom bracket area. Most likely a rock or tree root split the carbon fibre and although it was ridden home, who knows how long this would last before the unthinkable happened.

It’s a beautiful bike and lucky for us there is a storage compartment in the bottom tube that allows access to the inside of the frame.

With careful examination and a surgical grinding session I could see where the crack starts and ends and replace the broken fibres with new ones. Also by adding layers inside the frame it makes it super strong – even stronger than it was before.

The owner wanted a bash plate made to stop it from happening again, so I lifted a mould off the repaired frame, and attached with double sided tape. This will absorb most of the bang and combined with the frame repair will be a formidable structure for years to come.
