DIY fixing damaged carbon seat stay
The patient: 56cm size carbon frame Corratec road bike.
The wound: a cracked seat stay, with multiple small fissures over about 12cm length - I guess the bike has fallen and hit a kerbstone or similar.
I've been quoted about 400-500 pounds to have it repaired in the Philipines.
I cant see why I cannot make a DIY repair, using 2-pack epoxy.
My plan: Drill a small hole above the limit of the damaged area and pump in liquid 2-pack epoxy to completely fill the inside of the seat stay - to make it a solid casting.
Over to the critics: is this feasible, practical, desirable? Or should I pay money to leave it to a professional?
