I have a carbon bike frame and the down tube has a hole about 1" long (in direction of the tube) by 1/4"wide.  Would your Carbon Fibre Rapid Repair Kit fix it? Also would a wrap of Lightweight Kevlar flat braid increase the strength of the repair?  If it increases the strength, would you put this on first and then cover it with the repair kit treatment?

I did a repair as well on a bike and made a tutorial on it.

Have a look, like stated above, be sure you know what you are doing and keep in mind it is still a risk you are taking to repair a broken bike frame Smile
