Morning all

I'm looking to repair a damaged bearing surface on a carbon full suspension bike and was wondering about building it up with resin/epoxy to it's original level.

Could you suggest a product that would be suitable for this application please, I was thinking of a resin with graphite powder mixed in?

Many thanks

Would the rapid repair resin be a suitable product or would something like xencast P6 be more suitable to mix the milled CF powder with?

The area of damage will be under compression and is part of a 'washer' like pivot rather than a bearing containing surface, which was why I initially thought of the graphite filler to reduce friction against the repair section?
