Hi there,

I bought some 2nd hand carbon rimed (braking surface too) bicycle wheels from eBay. The front one is showing what I believe is some signs of age and impact damage. I'd like to attempt to repair these but have never worked with composites before. I'm thinking of getting some low viscosity resin, trying to inject into any cracks / gaps with a syringe, bag and clamp and then sand down with high grade of wet or dry. 

Does that sound like it might work to someone more experienced than me? I'd spotted the product linked below and wondered is that the best thing to use to attempt the repair with?

Any help or advice welcome, I've attached an image to this thread also so you can hopefully see the issues I'm trying to correct.

Thanks in advance.
