Even a “roadie” could benefit from this on a long enduro ride or Fondo.

Love u

Check the description 😉

I'm glad you clarified that! I was having a melt down screaming at my phone to weld the damn thing! Lol

Whoa! That's crazy!

I really didn't think that that was possible. Long(er) term testing would be interesting. With a repair like that, user error may be a big influence to reliability, too. Interesting stuff, nonetheless

Well expect this is the civilian version so it’s not the same quality and strength as military grade

@@bored2323 in the military we understood military grade to be that which is made by the lowest bidder.

What's the permanent fix. Buy a new one?

You can have it repaired by a professional carbon repair place: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ-cp66cnJzSlYU.html

We wanted to see if it would work as an emergency repair. Turns out it does.

Really impressed

Wait emergency as in “not permanent” I’d just ride it like that lol

@@MarioXcore1 It would probabaly hold for years

It would probably hold just fine, but with re-kilning being such a simple process as it is, you might as well just do a permanent fix & then wrap it afterwards. Belts and Suspenders, what a sight! lol

Nah carbon frames crack all the damn time.

@@shadow_rune6178 I usually break myself way before my carbon bike.

Me too. I'm like "I'm no bike mechanic but that doesn't look like a brake to me" Then I realized how dumb I was.

Pretty sure it's just paint and the top coat rather than actual carbon dust

@@nope929 which is exactly why you never see painters wearing masks, let alone respirators and goggles. Oh wait...

@@MrKipperfish when you are working with anything day in a day out, continued exposure is a real problem.

@@MrKipperfish i guess everytime i walk through my house with dry paint i have to wear a mask even after the Acetone and benzene evaporates, oh wait, I don't because all of the harmful stuff is gone

On the contrary. You should snort it.

If you're that scared of your chainstay breaking, you probably shouldn't be riding, period.

What if you had to out run a bear, would you ride it then?

It takes 24hrs for the better resins to fully cure and harden. So, no as the bear would have already eaten me. Ha! Ha! Ha!@@ferret1303

@@graysonadams2485 some people will use chicken wire and duck tape for a fix. Others, in evolved in the production of carbon, or catbon/kevlar parts will tell you that once a strand is torn apart or broken the part will never be as designed. Let's face it. If it broke from riding it was probably a poor design to begin with. So, this wrap epoxy fix is only to limp home. Or the owner is on a very low budget. I stand by my statement. Not a good idea for person health.

I did this to my bike and I've been riding it for years ! It's solid as a rock 🤣 and it's a DH bike .. I was pretty surprised myself

It doesn't come off, so if you were to do something like that, you'd want to put plastic wrap on the frame first to keep it from sticking.

It’s not a permanent fix you dingus

Sarcasm : the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

Wrong. Carbon fiber is a great material to have repaired when you have a bike shop that works with carbon repairs

An I've heard people say that carbon fiber is stronger than steel but it seems that's not the case I have seen many steel bike frames break especially where this one did

A just weld it . Done it many a time

Carbon, while a pain to fix, is actually able to be restored to the same characteristics as before, not stronger, not weaker but the same. It will flex and bend the same way as before.

@@jamesduhon1901 carbon is stronger but it's also more brittle meaning a sharp impact can cause it to break, think of it like raw and cooked pasta, raw pasta can support more load then cooked pasta but a sharp impact causes it to snap violently, while cooked pasta can't support as much weight but won't snap from an impact, only bend

Different bikes are made for Different things

Carbon frame vs alum frame is only $1200 Avg difference for a full suspension mtb. More benefits than weight also, stiffness and compliance in targeted locations, on a rigid bike this is a huge difference..

I hope for the sake of your back you're not sending a carbon xc bike hard enough to brake a chainstay

@@tuckerfristoe9449 20 year old Walmart bike XC lmao

Don't put yourself down like that man there's no hate in the bike community

There are just 2 types of alloy frames: 1. Cracked 2. Yet to be cracked

@@Terra-Incognlta lol, yeah in my next life, maybe.

@@astrodad656 You wish. Maximum is 10 years and 5 years if you are not weekend warrior and riding in winter too. Never again. I've seen tons of alu frames broken compared to carbon. And quite few of them broke on casual uphill ride.

@@Terra-Incognlta alum, yes. not double butted 4130 chromoly steel.

@@astrodad656 True, steel is something else. But heavy as cow and not suitable for fullsus. Unless you have one of those more expensive than carbon special brand which is still heavy compared to carbon.

Not a permanent fix anyway dude...

its a permanent fix, patience is a virtue...sorry, by used on offer up

Yup, they should be wearing a respirator, especially when sanding the composite.

its forever fix

Or a fezzari

Yea... That will help if you are 60+ miles from the next human... At your local trail you can walk back to your car/house, but some people do long distance travels with their bike. (i am not one of them)

I don't see why not. It certainly didn't cause the problem. But it might be worth taking a couple photos or video before you cover it up because I don't think you're getting the fiber fix off 😁

No, it would crap out your warranty. You are altering it after the damage was done. No more warranty.

Absolutley voids warranty as they will claim they cannot examine and determine cause of break

being shitty manufacturers they will use any excuse....they wont warrantee

that's just an inane comment.

bill cearley bob Taylor is just a different breed Bill. He’s apart of the percentage that prefers to go slow on a low quality bike than having nice things.

What why?

@@danielaredes8573 I hate this feeling, being too envious on them because of how cheap my bike is. To overcome this, I remind myself that I'm just using this bike to buy groceries for our small sari sari store and not for rides. Unfortunately, it still makes me sad thinking about it.

@@arjayestorgio2603 I mean as long as you have fun with your homies and enjoy yourself the kind of bike you have shouldn't matter, if they your friends they don't care if you have a cheaper bike

@@danielaredes8573 thank you♥️

I was that way with skateboarding when I was young and broke. Got too too many now!!

Scuffing isnt the same as sanding for surface prep. When outdoors and just scuffing wouldnt bother anyone who knows what they are doing..but anyone that experienced wouldnt be riding a frame fixed like that unless you would die of dehydration or something after as it just gives a false sense of security and will fail at a critical time

Nope, you can have it professionally repaired as we discussed in the full video (link in description).

There are several ways to permanently fix a carbon frame, especially due to the nature of the material - you can return it to the exact same strength it was before, the primary method being re-kilning.

An aluminum one

This kind of fix is for emergencies (like getting home from a bikepacking trip) but you can get carbon bikes professionally repaired, often for less than the cost of a new frame and it is totally safe ☺️ more details in our full length video (link in description)

is this some sort of American joke im too free health cared to understand??

@@lolaharwood4702 yes AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

@@lolaharwood4702 our health insurance is so cheap that a childhood friend of mine got enough money for an overseas family vacation after he broke his arm. Shit's insane here in Czechia.

@@diviscadilek1764 they payed him because he broke his arm? damn thats crazy, Americans really be missing out I'm from England and health insurance isnt much of a thing, it exists for private health care but most people just use the NHS because its bloody brilliant, only 1 bad thing is the waiting time for non critical appointments

After installing it, we ride it down stairs and jumped it and it held no problem. Definitely not a permanent solution, but great fit an emergency to get you out of the back country.

stronger than original, permanent fix, if sanded very good

Mis condolencias. Esa video es solo una reparacion temporaria. Es muy importante hacer una reparacion de profesional como explico en la video completa (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ-cp66cnJzSlYU.html).

There are just 2 types of alloy frames: 1.cracked 2. Yet to be cracked (10years max)

@@Terra-Incognlta ur saying that like a bike holding up for 10 years is bad

@@__mayo1802 10 years for weekend warrior. With every day use 4 max. I don't know about you but I'm buying bike for at least 5 years and then sell it when upgrading. Not throwing to scrap.

@@Terra-Incognlta you cant be talking about carbon if youre talking about mtbing everyday for 5 years then selling🤣🤣

@@artvandalay2736 Yes, I'm talking exactly about carbon. Because I want my bike to last and not be an anvil. And if I crash I want to repair it for 200-300€ to have the same properties as manufactured. Hate to finding crack around the weld on shit-minium after 2 winters and then throwing it to scrap or weld it and use it to Walmart only.

I have smashed my carbon bike against rocks harder than you would believe and it’s never damaged anything beyond the paint. I’ve only ever see one person break a carbon frame, and it was on a cross country bike. They are so incredibly strong that repairing them is almost never an issue, and the force required to break carbon would usually dent an aluminum frame beyond repair also.

You can get carbon professionally repaired to the same spec as before, meaning it will bend and flex the same way it use to and will be the same strength as before

Carbon can be repaired better than metal alloys.

Check out our longer video (linked in description). We talk to an expert in carbon repair and he explains better than I can the differences between a professional repair and an emergency repair.

When professional repair guys do it, they cut out the broken party anyway, so they just cut on either side of the Fiber Fix

So true! 😂

Sad but true. I ride road on whatever has two wheels and pedals. Snobs are their own problem, don't let them bother you.

Nope

Aluminium can snap too

@@lxgg4923 Aluminium is a lot more ductile, and will bend unlike carbon fibre which will just snap.

Carbon is a lot stiffer than aluminum, meaning it doesnt break as easy, but once its broken you can throw it away

@@koerni0653 yes thats true but i have only snapped carbon bikes no aluminiums. The carbon is a great materiall still, light and strong

@@ChristAcolyte generally yes, but not in bike applications. The type of Al and the thin tubes almost always result in frames cracking instead of bending. Often they crack at the welds but have seen all kinds of cracks. Just search it on KZfaq, there is plenty of footage of aluminium frames snapping

Lily always steals the show 🤷‍♀️😻

Carbon is stronger than alu and steel... its just brittle, if your gonna break a carbon frame your gonna break any metal frame. It just comes down to what your riding and how your rider whether or not carbon is a good idea. E.g i don't like carbon rims because i have smashed a few rims into rocks, I'd prefer a wheel that is totally mangled but still rolling than one that just shatters

@@reecesoan8138 that's just an ignorant thing to say. Darvin is brittle and it breaks more easily than aluminum. It's not true that if u break a carbon you'd break a aluminum. That's just lazy thinking. Materials stress science strongly disagrees with ur pompous position

@@vearsan yes i am aware that because of metals flexibility it can absorb more stress with out breaking... where as carbon doesn't flex at all, but i have a fair bit of personal experience and enough to say if you break a high quality carbon frame you are most certainly going to void an alloy or alu frame. Its not ignorant its just simplifying, this is a KZfaq comment section i couldn't be bothered to go into detail. I have only ever voided a metal frame, i have put my carbon hardtail through a lot of shit including nasty cases. *edit* My riding buddies who are faster and better than me have only broke metal frames... the only carbon frame one of them broke was because he was an idiot and didn't strap it down properly in transport and it flew of the back of his truck. Metal fatigue is what gets metal frames, the welds can crack etc. The real world is very different to books we read in school
