Broken Carbon is the premier carbon fiber bicycle repair shop. Backed by multiple undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering plus a 30+ years of racing experience, nobody understands composites and the requirements of high-end bicycles like we do. We will get your carbon fiber bike back on the road or trail quickly!
I started experimenting with composites in high school with my dad. As lifelong cyclists, we saw the increased use of composites in the cycling industry in the early 2000's and wanted to learn more. I followed my dad's footsteps and attended the Colorado School of Mines while still focusing on my cycling career.

After about a year of riding my frame cracked around the bottle cage. I bought my bike second hand, so the manufacturer would not warranty my frame. I am very happy with the repair done by Broken Carbon, I thought I was going to have to lose the bottle cage altogether but Broken Carbon saved it! We performed a structural repair, replaced the bottle cage Rivnuts and gave the repair a glossy clear coat finish.
Our standard turn around is usually about 1.5 - 2 weeks depending on the time of the year. If you are in need of a rush repair, please let us know and we can get you pricing. Turn around down to 2 business days is possible. Short answer: it depends. In any case, it's less expensive than a new frame or even crash replacement pricing.
Broken Carbon offers more than just carbon repair! We also offer expert witness services related to composites and carbon fiber failure inside and out of the cycling industry. We have also worked extensively with manufacturers to refine their products. We have numerous product liability cases under our belt related to carbon fiber composite failures.

When my chain dug into my carbon frame on my forth ride on my brand new gravel bike, everyone told me not to worry because Broken Carbon is the best. I heard great things from a couple of friends and my local bike shop, and Broken Carbon did not disappoint! I took my bike in on Tuesday on a beautiful May day, and I had it back in great shape by Friday (I did pay the $100 rush fee, it was 75 degrees outside!) They were extremely professional and quick to respond to any questions or returns, and the price was more than fair. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in a carbon pickle.

These guys are the real deal - professional, quick on the turnaround time and the work is top-notch. I had my Ibis in to get a cracked seat tube repaired, they were great about answering any questions I had about the repair process and worked with me on paint vs no-paint to get the best looking repair possible.
All said and done, the repair looks great and I know is structurally sound. Highly recommended!

I had a Giant Anthem Pro 29er repaired here and the decision making process for me was do I do it myself or do I have a professional fix it? Since I have experience in fiberglass surfboard repair, I googled repairing it DIY and was just about to do it myself. I'm so - so glad I didn't. The carbon on the Giant looks nothing like the carbon I would have purchased elsewhere and I have no idea what I'm doing (no experience). I would have screwed this repair up, as they say, beyond recognition.
When I got the frame back with the clear coat finish - it was literally perfect. I like the exposed repair

Wow these guys are fantastic. They are extremely knowledgeable, honest, friendly, and do high quality work. I had done the dreaded quarter test on my bike and determined I definitely had a crack in the frame. Instead of trying to find a new frame for thousands of dollars, I went to Broken Carbon. For a third the cost of a new frame, they were able to repair my bike. I looked into doing myself but I didn't want to risk and would rather have professionals take care of it than risk injury to myself. The repair is visibly high quality and feels/sounds extremely well done. They have a 5 year warranty

I ordered a carbon Enduro used and the frame was cracked in the middle during shipping. I sent to Broken Carbon to get it fixed. They fixed it for what seemed like a deal, it looks great, it was lightening fast and I have been riding it as hard as I am able to ride ever since. I have one full season on it, I’m not really easy on my stuff, I was jumping a road gap with it just today. The frame is going strong and showing no signs of stress. I have recommended broken carbon to my local bike shop because they were amazed at the quality of the repair on my bike.
