Our Mission
Ensure safety of our clients
Your safety and our reputation is our prime concern. We fix ‘helicopter blades’. A poorly repaired bike is just as dangerous. It must always be structurally sound. We have invested over £1/2 million in ensuring we are as good as the brands we repair for.
Avoid costly replacement of carbon frames and parts
Repairing your bicycle is by far the cheaper route. However it is important to choose the most advanced repairer who can deliver a repair which is proven safe.
Provide our expertise to clients and partners worldwide
Experience, qualification and investment affords companies like CBR to work with leading brands and customers to stay ahead of the technology curve and offer a valued service in a high risk industry.
ACHIEVEMENTS MATTER!

Repairing Carbon Wheels
Wheel designers obviously calculate all the maths to make a wheel fit for purpose but unlike a repaired frame it is only deemed fit for purpose when it comes out of the mould and receives it’s trued spoke set. There are still many areas we can repair so stick around as I explain the complexities of wheels.
Metallic vs Candy – What is the difference?
Candy colours use a metallic undercoat (Like silver or gold) while having a tinted transparent top coat to create the desired colour. Whereas Metallic finishes use powdered metal in the paint to reflect more light.
Seat Post or Frame? Where to clamp your Bike
Keeping in mind that clamps are designed for round tubing, some frames have oval, square, or other non-round tubing. Making it difficult to clamp on the frame.
Fork Steerers – Are they Repairable?
Firstly I need to make a point about manufacturing carbon steerers. As repairers we have the unenviable task of finding safe ways to repair unnecessary problems which occur due to the improper use of carbon fibre on components. This is only one of many areas of a bike we note. I guess I shouldn’t complain but in many ways repairing the problem does not solve it so we become part of the problem in a way.
Indents On My Handlebars – Is this a fracture?
Have you noticed strange dents on the handlebars when removed from the stem? Some bikes show a groove around the clamp-on front mech collar, or seat post clamp pinch on the collar. These can all be causes for concern so let me explain what is going on.
High Modulus Frames – Are they better?
To explain whether high modulus carbon fibre frames are better or not, we need to know what the difference is between Low Modulus Carbon Fibre and High Modulus Carbon Fibre.
Cycling Your Bike In Winter – Is it bad?
We don’t know about you but we like riding our favourite bike whatever the weather!
Colour Matching – How we do it
There’s a reason that colour matching is so challenging. We are not given any colour codes by the manufacturers and even if we were as soon as the paint is exposed to sunlight, it starts to change.
