Hi all,

I've joined the forum to seek some advice.

I have a carbon fibre bicycle frame which has sustained some damage to the top tube, see attached pics.

I came across easy composites whilst searching for epoxy resin to fill in the chips but not having experience with these materials I would like some advice. 

My plan was to key the chipped area and fill with resin then touch up the paint so I would also like to know what my options are regarding the type of paint to use.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi FLD,

Thanks for the advice and the offer of some resin but im based in London.

How's best to identify if the carbon has folded? Should I sand back the damaged area?

If the fibre is ok what resin would be suitable from easy composites website? I was oringally looking at the rapid repair resin or epoxy repair filler.
