Title: Carbon fiber repair
Post by: Thunderchild on July 07, 2012, 11:25:03 pm

Dirt rag has an article about carbon fiber repair in their latest edition.  I couldn't find a link to it on their webbsite
Mentions several different companies that perform this service.  Anyone every break an Oz frame or swingarm (Oz, 4000 and 5000)?

Never tried to fix broken carbon fiber, but I have used superglue or epoxy to repair dents and cracks before. The key is to lock the broken fibers in-place so they can't continue to flex and delaminate.
