Carbon Fiber repairs?

September 28, 2011 - 9:16pm — galedb

Thought I would draw on the collective knowledge of the group here...

I have a friend at work who had a bike accident on her Trek carbon fiber TT bike. The bike shop found that the carbon fiber dereilleur hanger was bent and sent it to the Trek factory to be fixed. But the factory said it could not be fixed. The dereilleur hanger for that frame is integrated and not replaceable. So she is left with the option of having the local bike shop (George's) try to bend the hanger back which could possibly break it.

Any advice?

I think I remember someone in the club talking about a local guy in Boise who works on carbon fiber frames. Maybe that is an option.

Calfee rocks. My bike was broken into 3 pieces and they made it look new. You also could just get a sweet Fet Tri bike.

Trek change their TT designs every other week. felt are the real deal.
