lol- As I extoll the virtues of CF, I forgot I have a new project on my plate-
Carbon repair due to chain drop/suck. Carbon ain't perfect, and pulling my cranks off last week I was reminded why. This is a pure gash caused by chain rub/suck over about 3 years. I couldn't see the extent until I removed the cranks. I cant tell if it is starting to crack structurally. It might very well be, but, it's still quiet (
perhaps some acoustic monitoring equipment???/) naw.... Doesn't matter. I've got a carbon fiber repair kit on order and will reinforce the bejeseebus out of this area. I've still been riding it, as a worst case scenario the cranks would just break loose into the current bb hanger, but, I think I'll hold off until the kit comes in. I also think this is a good repair to "get into CF repair". It's structural, but not catastrophic structural if my repairs don't hold. I will overbuild the area to compensate for future chain drops. Repair pics to follow when I get into it.
