With the growing popularity of carbon bikes, the need for specialised repair services has become increasingly crucial. Carbon Bike Repairs, a pioneering company in the field, stands at the forefront of addressing this demand.
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.
You can buy a carbon frame off the peg weighing in at 585g. and this is impressive considering the job it has to do – but therein lies the problem. It seems to me that some manufacturers are using these ultra-lights as their ultimate bench mark. Amateur cyclists are simply following this weight reduction trend.
Why do carbon fibre bikes cost so much? What’s this material really made of and can a repaired frame ever be judged safe? We lift the lid on carbon fibre and question its sustainability.
Always one to look for a way to market CarbonBikeRepair’s new robotic repair system, an opportunity arose from a phone call by Andrew Feather, the 3 titled National Hill Climb champion, asking if we could repair his race wining 2018 Cannondale for training.
