Carbon Fibre Repair Kit - 75g Epoxy Resin with Carbon Fibre - Accessories Included

Product Information

In addition to checking for compatibility and undertaking a feasibility assessment, it is crucial to ensure that extensive surface preparation is conducted beforehand. The kit also had some polish the repair looked great after and I didn’t feel the need to fill and paint. We provide instructions based on a basic carbon fibre repair - We highly recommend looking at You tube Vids as a good source of instruction, they will show you the steps involved. We asked Shawn Small of Portland-based Ruckus Composites whether DIY carbon repair kits are safe, and—surprise!

Ruckus is one of the only companies that focuses solely on carbon fiber repair, and despite the fact that its employees have 10 years of experience and combined backgrounds in rocket-building, mechanical engineering, and material physics, even they won’t touch some parts of a bike, including forks, handlebars, stems, and seat posts.Wrap the good pole (the one that will go inside the broken one) with some of the shrink-tape, overlapping as you go.

It’s a clear cloat with tiny beads of colored glass in it that are supposed to shine brightly in direct sunlight.
