Undun Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 A friend damage her MTB frame (Trek) due to the seat post stem not deep enough into the frame. Can it be repaired? Can be fixed contact Paul on:083 284 0705PG Carbon Repairsor Cobus Carbon repairs:082 880 9600 From what ive seen and the damage seen on some frames it should cost you roughly 2k to fix that.
Eugene Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Looks repairable. She must just use someone reputable.
DieselnDust Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 can you post a better picture of the general area where the frame broke?Often damage is not limited to the area of the failure
Danger Dassie Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Bogus Designs - Western Cape Graeme Kidson/Carbon Ninja - KzNProbably looking at around R3500 plus a warranty. They're both experts in the field with a history in the auto, boating and aerospace sectors.
TheJ Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Or if looks isn't the main factor, this would also work. http://fiber-fix.co.za/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At4A78rpQ6M Afterwards I'd lightly sand it down and hit it with clear lacquer spray to get it to shine again. Makro was selling these kits for like R30 a while back, bought one or two.
SURFER Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks for feedback. Will give her the info. Will try for more photos

TheJ Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 I would not trust a home repair on a bike frame.Technically all carbon repairs are home repairs. Where this frame broke, fiber wrap would be more than strong enough. Probably stronger than before it broke.
