How was the object repaired?

Firstly you send a photo to the company, so they know it’s a fixable crack.

The damaged area was cut and sanded away.

New layers of carbon were laid down and compressed until they were set.

The area was sanded again to match the shape of the original frame.

Why did you repair the object?

I wanted to keep using this great Canyon bike.

What would be important to you to be included in a Repair Declaration for Ireland?

More repair, less waste. Repair should be subsidised.
