silca_toptube_final-(1-of-5)_TN

Toptube damages are of our most common repairs on carbon fiber bikes and for a number of reasons. Top tubes are of the thinnest areas on the bike, both for weight and vibration reduction, so they're already vulnerable on a material level. However, many of the damages we see to this area are work stand and not crash related. Yep, you read that co...

p5xTN

The Cervelo P5x is an unparalleled, performance oriented, high-end carbon fiber TT racing frame. Fully constructed from carbon fiber with discs, this is one of the most expensive frames money can buy and one of the fastest. And yet, accidents and carbon fiber damage can still happen. Luckily, we're here help with carbon fiber repairs when they do.

sean-bike-(2-of-5)_TN

Hardtail MTBs: are they hard to ride or ar well all hard on them? In any case, all carbon MTBs tend to take a beating due to the nature of where we ride them. This On One carbon repair came in from a local fast guy singlespeeder for an ultrasound inspection below the seatstay/seattube junction. He'd been riding it for about a year and a half, an...

orbea-orca-(1-of-1)TN

Often times frames come in for carbon fiber repair, and the customer has no idea how it could have broken. This Orbea Orca is just one of those cases. The customer did not even see it until it was in the shop for a winter overhaul. Our guess was a frontal impact situation, but they said it has never been crashed or ridden hard.

internal_routing-1-2

There's nothing we enjoy more than upgrading an older bike with some new swag. In this instance, our customer brought us a 2011 Sworks Epic that was already meticulously cleaned and maintained. However, they wanted to take it one step further and internalize all the cable routing through the frame. Needless to say, it looks gooooooood.

colnago_c50_etap-1-2

One of the things that we do best here at Ruckus is updating or converting older bikes to take on new equipment. Sometimes that means retrofitting bikes with internal cable routing or a different bottom bracket standard. Our favorite conversion to do is to equip a bike with a Sram E-Tap group; the work it pretty tedious and time-consuming but it...

mymerida_toptube-1

Seatstay repairs are some of the most common repairs we perform; they require immense patience when removing the damage, an accurate layup, and usually an interesting way of extracting the resin from the laminate. At Ruckus Composites, we pride ourselves on quickly and safely repairing carbon fiber bike frames. It is our continuing mission to us...
