Hi! Great informative videos! Wish i have a garage like that close by! Quick question... I have a carbon wheel delamination (alloy break track). Would it have the same strctural issues or not necessarily?
Hi William :) We do take bike repairs from all over the world, so no matter how far away you are we can always help! We recently had a customer send in his frame from Japan. With little information and no reference photos, we are unable to give you a concise answer. But if you email our team info@carbonbikerepair, alongside photos and how the damage occurred we can help you out! :D
@@HouseBrenn I’ll try to provide a straight answer! Each bike company does their own thing. Some remove carbon from areas that they feel is not necessary others who don’t. Usually with top tubes on modern carbon you will get flexing on the top part but not so much underneath and the sides. This is common and not dangerous. However if you press down like in this video or you hear a noise when you press. Then email us to assist with further advise no matter where you are. Thanks for asking the question ✅
Hello Tyler and friends. It’s impossible to be specific but I’m guessing your question is a universal one about the general robustness of the bb press-fit? Designers these days simply review past frame-sets and understand that there is a general rule when it comes to pressure applied + a bit more in case. Generally I would say the bikes in circulation will be up to the task of handling assembly and disassembly. When it comes to the individual doing it or the various types of oversize options available with scant information then anything is possible. I will say this as an experienced repairer though, often the damage is done before you hear that crack. It could be from a previous impact or stress applied to the bb. For example we have seen implosions of the bb just because no lubricants was applied to help slide in the bearing cups. To provide a universal answer: in general the carbon bb will out perform an alloy one when it comes to stiffness under load. Anything else and it is more vulnerable. Weight reduction, frame stiffness and mold shaping opportunities are some of the good reasons why we have so much carbon replacing alloy. Good or bad!
Interesting, after this video i have learned that all the new Tarmacs SL7's must come delaminated from the factory...the whole frame flexes like that 🤣
Thanks for chiming in. It could be various reasons. In the defence of any brand we would say that they will always be pushing the envelope to better aspects of their bikes. In carbon you can never stand still. However in some cases this can go too far. In our experience we see the manufacture responding fairly rapidly to sort out. Imagine how expensive it is to honour warranty claims!

Hi there. Not sure why you think so? As long as you replace the material that was damaged to the same compressed wall thickness and it’s stress tested to demonstrate deflection data for that model and frame size then it’s really as good as a new frame. Unfortunately some of these procedures can not be shown but it has got to be repaired correctly. This is the concern many have with repair which we understand however after 10 years and 20,000 breaks we are happy that selected repairs are a viable alternative to replacement. Thanks for chipping in Villedocville. It’s all good
So this is what happened to the sub at the titanic.
Man they must have heard it right before it happened.
I came here as well to get an understanding of delaminating as well
I’d love to see more of the repair processes. It’s fascinating how you fix some of these damaged bikes but the repair videos are really quite short.
We have some exciting projects coming up in the future that should have a little more carbon!
Ty much for replay
I own an supersix evo and i have pres whit my finger some part of frame and.....
Love video
have a nice day

Hi
It is normal to bend a litle that tube?

How much force does it take to crack a carbon frame while pressing a bearing out. I heard cracking when pressing mine out

Not so in our experience. They are generally a very well made bike just fragile like most all other performance bikes out there.
@@carbonbikerepair1 yes it was more of a joke. I find the latest tarmac way more flexible than my previous venge. 🤷♂️
@@jebbadiah 👍👋
Wow
That could be just a bad layup, Yeti has had several new frames where you could do that with your finger, bad layup.

@@carbonbikerepair1 nice double reply
To me, that’s a weakened top tube post repair.
