-
Is a Carbon Fiber Bike Frame Repairable?
Yes—absolutely. But it’s not a DIY job.
Carbon fiber is made up of incredibly fine fibers woven together and cured with epoxy resin. It’s strong, lightweight—and complex. Repairing a carbon frame requires precision, specialized materials and equipment, and deep technical knowledge. At Carbon Bike Specialists, every repair is done by our highly experienced technicians, using aerospace-grade materials and processes trusted by manufacturers and professional cyclists alike.

How to Tell if Your Carbon Frame is Damaged
Not all cracks or damages are easy to spot. Here's what you
can do:- Feel for soft spots: After a crash, apply gentle pressure to suspected areas. A soft or spongy feel can indicate internal damage.
- Listen for sound differences: Tap the frame lightly with a hex key—if the sound is dull or inconsistent compared to other parts, that’s a red flag.
- When in doubt, let us inspect it: We use non-destructive testing, including ultrasound, to identify even the smallest damages.
DIY Carbon Frame Repair? Think Twice.
You’ll
find tutorials online—but carbon fiber repair is not like patching a tire.
Professional repairs involves:
- Cleaning and removing the damaged carbon fibers in the area.
- Layering aerospace-grade carbon fiber and epoxy with exact precision and orientation.
- Wrapping and curing the repair in extremely high-temperature ovens.
- Sanding and polishing the finished repair so that your frame maintains its original shape. We also offer Paint Restoration for a brand-new look.
At Carbon Bike Specialists, we’re meticulous about our work and so
confident in its quality that we back our repairs with a lifetime warranty.
Yes, a life-time warranty! You won’t be offered that anywhere else.
What Does It Cost to Repair a Carbon Bike Frame?
Costs vary depending on the extent of the damage. We won’t ding you for larger repairs, we aren’t nitpicky, and we’ve simplified our pricing system into two categories:
Level One damages—which cover about 90% of the repairs we complete—and Level Two damages, which involve more complex areas like the bottom bracket or dropouts.
Generally, repairs are far more affordable than replacement—and a lot more sustainable, which is what we’re all about. Our main mission is to keep bikes out of landfills, so if you find a better deal somewhere else (very unlikely), we’ll match it.
Tips to Extend the Lifespan of Your Carbon Bike
Here are three essential maintenance practices:
1. Clean Regularly
Keep your frame clean to prevent galvanic corrosion—especially if you're using it on a stationary trainer. Cleaning also gives you a chance to check for early signs of damage.
2. Schedule Regular Inspections
After cleaning, inspect your bike for cracks or soft spots. If you’re unsure, send it in for a professional inspection. It’s always better to catch and repair a crack early—before it spreads and damages a second part of your frame.
3. Handle with Care
Carbon is incredibly strong—stronger than steel—but modern frames are being made thinner to meet weight demands, which can make them more fragile. Always place your bike down gently after a ride, and never drill into your frame or add unauthorized parts (yes, we’ve seen it!).
