BOARDMAN WHOES

September 14, 2013/in Uncategorized /by CBR

I had another CBoardman Team frame in for a chain stay fracture. This is only the 2nd Boardman frame I have done but the same issue twice? – What is all this white powder that I had to grind away before finding the CF? It could be a thick gel coat or something but carbon is what I should normally find when I get under the paint. I am sure Chris is building safe, good value bikes but can someone at Boardman tell me what we are looking at here? I will be happy to publish a response.

Helped me out a big hole which was looking like costing me a small fortune. Sorted my repair very quickly with great communication. Hopefully i won't need a use these guys again but wouldn't hesitate for a second if unfortunately i needed a carbon repair again. Quality service.

Absolutely the best place in the UK to have your bike sorted. Not only industry leading facilities, but also the best mechanic around!

Having a damaged top tube and paintwork on a frame is never a good day, however sending it to Carbon Bike Repair was the best decision I’ve made in several years.It’s not a 5 min job so don’t expect to wait less than 2 weeks, but trust me the wait is so worth it. My frame came back looking better than new, no way to know it was damaged and the paintwork is absolutely perfect, even the colour change fade is perfect.I just can’t recommend them enough, money well spent and a frame that could have ended in a skip is now as good if not better than it was newThank you CBR

I'd like to thank Rob G and the team at Carbon Bike Repair for the excellent repair work and service they provide.My Trek Domane SLR Gen4 had a cracked chain stay and some other cosmetic issues. I opted for the full restore which I felt was reasonably priced.Communication with the team throughout the process was outstanding and I couldn't be happier with the result which included a fairly priced courier shipment back to the UAE. The bike looks like new.I will happily recommend them to any who may require this typr of service.

I got knocked in November and whilst the broken bones were the main priority, I was so impressed with the way CBR took the worry out of the damage to my bike. The liaison with Tanita was exceptional, keeping me up to date with the process of working with the LBS to strip the frame, checking the frame for damage and then necessary repairs. The bike came back good as new without a scratch on it. The team that worked on the bike took pride and care in their work. I cannot thank them enough and highly recommend CBR.

Had a really nice experience dealing with CBR. They did a repair on a nasty damage around the bottom bracket of my bike caused from a chain slap. Communication was very easy, turnaround quick and repair looks amazing even though I opted for no paint restoration. Cost was very reasonable too. Recommended

If you own a carbon fiber bike and you need it inspected or repair I could not recommend CBR more. Clear prices, updates and skilled team.

I used Carbon Bike Repair to fix my Orro Venturi (after running out of patience with Orro Customer Services who weren't interested in communicating, despite the bike being in warranty). There was a small crack in the drive side chainstay. In addition, there were some scuff marks around the bottom bracket from a dropped chain, albeit these were cosmetic.The repair to the chainstay is immaculate. I'm lucky that the bike is matte black so I didn't get it painted, but you have to look very hard to notice any difference.Here's the extraordinary part; I didn't ask for the BB scuffs to be addressed and yet they have seen to them, too. That's the kind of service delivered by a company which values its craft, and its customers. I'm absolutely delighted.If that wasn't enough, the ticketing system and communication is brilliant, quoting straightforward, and people proactive. Finally, I had my frame dropped off to Head for the Hills in Dorking so I could grab it on a Saturday. It's a lovely little shop with friendly, enthusiastic staff and well worth a look.

My Bianchi Specialissima took a tumble and mangled the top tube.CBR were great, kept in touch throughout their thorough procedure and got my frame back to me quickly and efficiently.I was really pleased with the result and despite the complex paint I’m not sure I’d have any idea there had been an issue if I hadn’t seen the initial aftermath of the cat based trauma!Perhaps a bit spendy but that was to be expected given the paint.Thanks so much, would thoroughly recommend!

They did a fantastic job on my chain suck damage. The price came in within the budgeted range and it looks fantastic. Comms all the way through were spot on too. Thanks guys - great job!

Extremely professional and friendly staff who know everything about carbon repairs.Their work is first class, and as a bonus they were more than willing to give me a tour of their facilities which was most interesting.Thank you very much

Fantastic job against very tight deadlines to repair cracked seat stay before huge race in South Africa. Tanita & Martin were very helpful and communicative, juggling jobs to accommodate my needs, and I would definitely use CBR again (let's hope I don't need their services soon 😉 ). Highly recommended.Also, the bike arrived back by courier with much better packaging that I used to send my frame to them. 👍I didn't get the frame repainted - no time!

Recently used these guys to repair my carbon Trek mountain bike. Can't have asked for a better service. The repair was done very well and in such short notice so that I could use the bike for a trip I had planned. All the team that I spoke to on email were helpful. Highly recommend.

I just wanted to thank the Team at CBR for great advice and excellent work to repair and rebuild my bike following a very nasty collision. Great detail to their work and the bike feels as good as new. A huge thank you to everyone who helped on this project.

Carbon Bike Repair are magicians! I can't think of a bad word to say about all my experiences in dealing with them and in fact spend most of my time telling everyone how amazing they are. I've had a previous frame that I thought was a write off be bought back to life and most recently a very short time frame save on my pride and joy. None of the repairs are visible. For a measure of how far they will go check out You Tube - Francis Cade's ride across America and see how they saved Justins recumbent in a Texas car park. Thank you CBR!
