What Can And Cannot Be Repaired On Carbon Wheels?

October 13, 2020/in carbon /by CBR

Whilst clearly we can repair most areas of damage on a carbon frame, can the same be said for carbon wheels? Carbon wheels are certainly a lot more subjective in terms of whether a repair is viable, but we can effect repairs to some areas.

The areas that we generally can’t repair are fracturing to the brake track (on a rim brake wheel), the bead area and spoke hole areas. As rider safety is our first priority, these specific areas are very difficult to test to the limits with non-destructive testing. As such, we do not undertake these repairs.

In terms of fracturing, we can generally repair any other area, as long as it doesn’t go into any of the above areas. We have successfully repaired many types of damage to rim fairings for example.

If you have cosmetic or other damage, we generally treat each case on its own merits. Perhaps email in with your issue first and we can advise from there.

We sometimes get requests where a brake track has warped after heat build-up going down a descent. We can generally help here but we need to ascertain how warped the brake track is and make a judgement from there.

So if you do manage to damage your carbon wheels, before you bin them or just go for a straight replacement, why not get in touch with us first to see if we can help?

The Importance Of A Stripped Frame

October 2, 2020/in carbon /by CBR

If you have ever enquired for a quote or had a repair or restoration work carried out by CBR, you’ll know that we require a completely stripped and clean frame to work on. We can, of course, strip it for you. Yes, even little things such as bottle cage bolts, hangers, cable guides and bearings need to be removed! Whilst perhaps you might think of this as somewhat over the top with some of the modern designs out there (I’m thinking integrated front ends, frames with convoluted cable routing to name but a few examples), there are various logical reasons why this is required.

During the repair and restoration process, your frame is hung in various mounts to allow it to be worked on at different angles. Both the carbon and spray departments have specific jigs and during transitionary phases between and during each departmental stage, we employ storage racks. With the amount of frames we have here at CBR, we have to be extremely thorough and organized to run a coherent operation.

Your frame will be cured at various points during the repair process. We have a specialist curing system that allows a more efficient operation in that they cure quicker than just hanging them to dry for a few days. Curing may also adversely affect the finish on components left on the frame if it wasn’t fully stripped.

Your frame will also be going into a spray booth. When the spray team work, they have to carefully mask the entire frame, which is a time-consuming process. If components are not removed, it makes masking more difficult and there is a greater chance of overspray.

We hope this article has provided more insight into our processes and why we require a stripped frame. If you are unable to strip the frame fully yourself, we also have a fully equipped workshop here at CBR with Cytech-qualified expert mechanics. Alternatively, you could use your trusted local bike shop. If you are going to part-strip the frame yourself and let us do the rest, as some customers do, please note that we require the wheels if you would like us to set your gears and brakes up.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE F10 PINARELLO

November 29, 2019/in carbon /by CBR

We recently came into the possession of a fake F10, so we thought we would share the differences with you. Please note that this is only one of many replicas flooding the market.

What’s so bad about a fake carbon bike then?

Carbon Bike construction is almost impossible to unpick. When layers of are sandwiched with inferior material to make it cheaper, you can see it until it breaks. We’ve seen mostly dangerous examples so I would question any seller of a high end bike where there is no paperwork.

Luckily it is pretty easy to spot the poor graphics against a real one.

Can you spot the fake? Look at the photos below.

TEAM INEOS F12 PINARELLO

August 14, 2019/in carbon /by CBR

At last we get to see the new F12, and what a beauty it is too!

Super light and stiff. The distributers in the UK have asked us to review some cosmetic damage which we can gladly help them with. The new Pinarrello UK are a fantastic team and their service is spot on from our experience. Chase them up for a demo of this beast. Honestly its another step up!

CAN YOU SAVE MY MARRIAGE!

August 14, 2019/in carbon, paint /by CBR

A customer from Greece asked us to save his marriage after he drove the bike into an overhead barrier, some of you might know that feeling!

Anyway, pictures paint a thousand words. Not only have we saved his marriage but provided him with a lifetime warranty to ensure he has a long and happy life!

This is a very late review of work done to my Giant Defy about 3 - 4 years ago. The service from these guys was excellent and I did feel like nothing was too much trouble and they acted professionally but the paint finish on my bike was pretty poor, with overspray and underspray where you didn't need it. The paint was also brittle which meant it flaked off everywhere so we gave the bike the nickname Jolly Green Leper. I'm sure their painter was an enthusiastic amateur as the design was good but really not an ideal finish. Anyway, sorry it's late and I can see the guys have moved on since but review added for fairness and balance. I'd probably use them again tbh if they have changed their painter.

Fantastic service from Carbon Bike Repair to my much loved S-Works Venge frame. Always responsive, a very clear initial estimate with clear quote once the frame had been inspected and damage assessed. Bike returned with repair area totally invisible to timescale as originally quoted. A very happy customer and would gladly recommend to anyone unfortunate enough to damage their bike.

Yet more quality work. Unfortunately I've had to use CBR 4 times in 4 years, and can;t think of any aspect I can fault them on. From initial quote, clear process and comms, the repair itself, profiling, paint and then rebuild. I have asked them to do some or all of the above, and it is consistently first class. The team are friendly and knowledgeable My only disappointment is there is only one CBR, and they are busy, so you will need to wait for quality service!

They handled a bike evaluation for the insurers of a driver who hit me. This seemed fine and the evaluation was honest. But in the 8 months they had the bike I moved home and told them 3 times I'd moved when they arranged to send it back to me. Guess what address it still went to? My old one. Now I've got to arrange getting a huge bike box from an address at short notice.*Update - They rang up, apologised and took responsibility. Unusual for a company to do that and much appreciated. 1* increased to 4*.

Carbon repair decent enough but rebuilding the bike including servicing was very poor and has left me having to pay again to have the service done professionally. Certainly would NOT recommend leaving your bike in the hands of their mechanics.Paid the deposit for the work to go ahead and was quoted 3 weeks. 7 weeks later I took delivery! Very unreliable and poor service. I would never return there.

I had the top tube of my LIv Langma repaired (via insurance), and CBC have done an amazing job. The paint job was complex, and the final result looks like new. Professional, prompt and friendly email contact throughout, and excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

Almost new Trek Madone SLR7 Project One - snapped steerer stop and bad scratch / chipped paint on forks. My insurance co. told me that as my bike is almost new and due to the quality of paint that I need to send my bike to CBR as they are the best. Amazed when I got my bike back as it looks like new - I cannot see where the repair was at all - very very pleased.

I recently got my Cube Agree frame sprayed from the team @ Carbon Bike Repair. I found the overall experience from the initial assessment all the way to completion of the job first class. An absolute great team of extremely knowledgeable professionals and true fans of the cycling world that simply love what they do and delivery exceptional results! Massive thank you to the team for bringing my old looking bike into the future and look forward to doing business again with you soon!

I put my bike in to CBR based on hearsay from 3 different friends who all called out the same name. I sent my bike in due to a 50kmh over the bars into the desert experience with a cracked top tube...and I am immensely pleased to say that it has come back, absolutely immaculate and as if nothing had happened to it. The workmanship is nothing short of top drawer, but for me, as I am living half way around the world, is the customer service I received. They kept it simple and did what they said they would do. Informed all the way from start to finish, and even when they were busy, they had time for a quick 2 minute call to answer a question of or 2. Impressive company to work with, and no wonder they are busy all the time. Chapeau to all of the team under Doug Addecott's leadership...thanks again guys..!! A big thumbs up from the Middle East..!

Very professional, however I don't believe they take the proper time to diagnose when the lacquer (paint) has cracked, too quick to state it's a crack in the carbon.

If you need your carbon bike repaired this place is fantastic. I've taken my bike here twice. Both times the team here have done a great job. I also had my bike rebuilt here too, the price for a rebuild is on par with other bike shops but the mechanics here are brilliant. They also offer custom paint jobs and refurbishment too. Keep up the top work!

Really nice job to repair my rear brake bridge on a Pinarello Dogma. Without this the frame would have been a write off. Opted for the basic paint finish but that was a really nice, neat, shiny black. Very friendly service, rough quote based on photos by mail was matched by the real one after the guys had a look at the bike. Definitely recommmend this company

TheGorillaFirm

13:13 19 Jul 18

We cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Their work is outstanding, whether it be a carbon repair or paint restoration. We've sent them lots of frames, most of which are very high end. Some of the frames have had quite serious crash damages and we have been beyond impressed with the quality and finish on every occasion. Customer service and communication is also excellent.

I recently sent my bike frame here for a repair on two paint chips to the top tube. The price was resonable and about three weeks later I had my bike back. The technicians did a fantastic job at touching it up and it looked like new again which at first I was very happy about.However .... Upon further inspection, when building the bike back up I noticed that there was a new chip on the head tube of the bike that for certain wasn't there before. Extremely annoying. I was told that "it probably happened in postage" however it seems too specifically placed for a postage incident in my mind.On the postage front, one other concerning matter was that the bike was sent back with hardly any protective packaging just a bit of bubble wrap. All of the protective packaging I supplied had been left at the bottom of the box unutalized. Why?To be fair, I did mention this and I was told they would look into repairing this for me but unfortunately I would have to take It apart again and i'm reluctant to send it by courier. I just don't have the time to drop it off in person either.In summary, by all means send your bike here and I'm sure they will do a good repair to your pride and joy. However, I would most certainly drop it off by hand do not send it by courier.3 stars is a fair review in my opinion of my experience with this company.

After my bike frame was damaged in an accident, I didn't know where to go. Two bike shops basically told me I should scrap my bike as it was no longer safe to ride. My insurance didn't have much knowledge on the subject either. My local bike shop recommended Carbon Bike Repair to see what they'd say.I dealt with Ben at CBR. He was extremely efficient, polite and helpful with all my concerns. I felt safe dealing with them, and was very impressed with their workshop when I went there. Ben kept me updated while repair was happening, and with their express service they got the repair done in a week. They have done an excellent job. I have already told people about them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as I was so impressed. Professionalism and a very high standard of work by people who obviously love their work and take pride in what they do.Thank-you.

Carbon Bike Repair came highly recommended by 2 local bike dealers after crack in rear seat stay found. They responded to my phone call and email immediately. On dropping bike off was really impressed with the workshop and with how they explained the processes they follow. They kept me up to date with the progress of the repair and on collection was delighted with the result. The team are clearly passionate about the service they provide. I would highly recommend them.

Greg Gosling

17:11 13 Jun 17

Astonishingly good; yes it took a while but Rob and team have taken a possible write-off and restored it to as-new. The frame has had 7 years hard use and then a massive head-on. Now it is like new again - well worth the investment.

Odd incident involving a tissue ended up with my rear derailleur cracking both my rear chain stays. Yellow jersey said they had a service to possibly repair it.. u was a little sceptical.Anyhow.. carbon bike repair delivered a box to my house. Had the bike collected and sent back. The actual bike came back as if brand new. The bike had been completely rebuilt and it was much better than any full service I have seen. Regards to the carbon.. you cannot see any evidence that it existed..Overall I am extemely impressed with everything about this company.. and yellow jersey insurance were awesome too

Quality of workmanship is beyond 5 star. Combined with the 5 star service, friendliness, proffesionalism and communication, I can't recommend it highly enough. It is NOT cheap, I pray you have insurance! But the quality is all there.

Darren Bonehill

12:48 08 May 17

Great business, great service, but yes, prices are a little high.Thanks for the additional information. Carbon Bike Repair actually provided a lot more information post sale and I am reassured that the cost was reasonable. The work is of a very high quality and I will be recommending them and (if I am unlucky) returning to them in the future should I need to. I have adjusted my star rating due to post sale information.

I have used CBR now 3 times to repair 3 different bikes, and each time the service and quality of the job has been excellent.The finish of the bikes has made it look like nothing has been done and as good as new.I cannot recommend them highly enough to take care of your pride and joy!

Found Carbon Bike Repair on a web search but an email exchange soon demonstrated that they knew what they were talking about - certainly a lot more than I did, though perhaps that isn't hard!I took the trouble to visit and the set up is pretty professional. Certainly not fly-by-night.I have nothing to compare in terms of pricing but the quality of the job and the finish was a huge relief and, though they quotes 2-3 weeks, my frame was back in my arms within 10 days. Unfortunately, the lovely finish on the repair makes other parts of the frame look a bit tatty. Bugger!I'll live with that though!Thank you Rob and the CBR team.

Amazing results. Bought an sworks hardtail on eBay, great condition but had a ding on the top tube. Called top bike shop (Sigma), as I was getting them to service it, they suggested I use carbon bike repair. They sorted it in no time, it looks as though it just came from the sworks factory. Top job. Thanks Dominic

Was distraught when a pretty large rock was flicked up against the down tube of a new Trek Domane descending MV2 The ding pierced and cracked the carbon frame. Contacted CBR from France and on return, couriered the frame over and 3 weeks later, the repair was so immaculate, I struggled to find the exact spot where the damage was. Very impressive work chaps.

The repair done on my son's bike was absolutely first class. It is literally as good as new and they even made good some other paint chips on the top tube. The service was excellent in getting the repair done and to top it off the chaps at head for hills (where you drop and collect the bike from) tightened up his head set before i collected it. I was under pressure to get it repaired as my son was racing - the first race out he won and the second one he came second - i don't know how much that was down to the fact that his beloved bike was back to looking great but I am sure it helped. the important thing for me is that when i come to sell it as he grows out of it I can do so.Thanks

Carbon Bike Repairs have done a fantastic job on my bike. I cannot even see where the original break was. The fact that it comes with a guarantee is even better. A1.
