  1. Hi everyone I came off about 3 weeks ago hitting something in the shoulder and waking up off the side of the road. Bicycle took most of the damage as I only have some scrapes and scratches. So I've put in an insurance claim but now they want to repair the bicycle. I can use the brake calipers, crank, front derailleur, cassette and chain. The rest of the bike is damaged and both rims are dented or buckled. I am not comfortable with repairing the frame and I'd like to hear from the rest of you what you'd do Check the pics Top tube is cracked on 2 places and headtube is cracked almost right around. Visually there's no fork damage but I would think that either the steerer or the crown took a beating to be able to crack the headtube the way it did. Repairer is offering lifetime warranty on the work that they're going to do
  2. Any recommendations for the best place for a carbon bike repair and spray ? Pretoria - Jhb aria ?
  3. Hello Bikehub, This weekend I was reminded why shallow cornering is a risky business. My right shifter and frame took damage and I'm unsure whether it's safe enough to ride the frame as is. From the pictures added, the handlebar twisted around, causing the shifter to grind/scratch along the width of the top tube. There is a bit of white tippex from a previous fall to see if the frame cracked further back then. This time round the entire paint surface is breached and the carbon seems slightly chipped/damaged. My question is if you all think it's safe to continue riding, that I just tippex it again and monitor it, or am I waiting for a snapped frame on the next hard hit? I would normally take it to Stephen at Macarbi, but my office hours won't enable me to get to him during the week working days. Does anyone know of a carbon expert around the Ferndale, Linden, Blairgowrie, Bryanston areas?
