Exactly where my original bi-plane fork went too.
I know unicrown is better, but Iâll really miss this bi-plane.
I wonder if filling the fork blade with that automotive structural foam shit would increase the fatigue life?
Someone do that then send the bike to me for âtestingâ
Makes me that much more happy that we played it as safe as possible.
Should I sand and reveal the truth or yolo
YOLO until it gets worse
What would be the plan if you got bad news? Repair? Sand. Throw away? YOLO.
If I could find someone to repair it for a decent price I would do that. Kind of want to paint it anywayâŚ
So seatstay is cracked on the carbon fiber MTB. Felt wonât do anything without a receipt ( which I figured is what would happen butâŚmight as well try)
Anyone recommend CF repair shops? I am going to ask at my normal shop to see if they can recommend anyone local.
Where are you located?
Oh I guess that would be helpful. Louisville KY
no duh
also, you said you crashed it
itâs not feltâs fault. at all. I deal with this crap all the time, even asking (for a free replacement when you are at fault) is kinda jackass, my dude.

sand it. If itâs cracked there itâs potentially a pretty easy fix.

I never asked for anything when I took it in, just was like âLook at what I didâ. Even the guy in the shop was like âyeah let me take pictures and send em off because sometimes they do shit and sometimes they donât.â I am fine with paying money as it was definitely something I did that caused it to break . I just wanted to explore if Felt would offer any kind repair or exchange through them before I took it to a 3rd party.

if cracking continues just install a hose clamp/U bolt below the lug to complete the breakaway conversion
Drill the ends of the crack first, then what they said.
