Predator Cycling Carbon Repair Kit, Do It Your Self

Excellent product, worked as described. Saved me $2000 by not have to replace my carbon fiber frame. Thank you!

Got an MTB accident and my rear frame was cracked. This product saved me $800 or a rear triangle! It was easy to use and I have been riding for the last 6months with and it handle pretty well. No sign of weakness or new crack. I’m riding in pretty rough trails so I can tell that those carbon sheep are very strong

I found the instructional video on YouTube to be ok... I watched a few others (not made by Predator) to get a better idea of how to do this. My repair was near the chainstay / bottom-bracket, which is a lot less convenient area than the middle of a tube or something. I found it all to be fairly easy, except when it came to applying the shrink tape. That was a NIGHTMARE. Mostly due to the location of the repair. Wish the instructions had some tips for getting that tape to work on an odd-shaped part of the frame. It was like trying to wrap a sprained ankle with sheet metal. The materials in this box cost at MOST $25, so a price of $99 seems gouge-y to me.

It works amazingly! However, I also used an epoxy and injected it into the frame crack to build up the inside walls prior to the repair process. One small suggestion is that you may want to add extra shrink tape to the order. Not very much provided. One tip on process, it is easy to over do the epoxy and make a mess. Cover that frame with tape and use the epoxy sparingly...

This product worked very well to fix a crack on my seat stay, saving my frame for a reasonable cost. I'm not especially skilled at repairs, so I appreciated the detailed instructions.

I was asked to repair a 4 foot microphone boom that had broken in the middle. A temporary repair was made using a plastic tube over the boom wrapped with electrical tape. Unfortunately when the microphone was attached the extra weight caused the boom to bend at the repaired area, this was not a solution to fix the problem. In the past I have used carbon fiber to repair my bicycle carbon fiber frame and was pleased with the results,. The microphone boom cost almost $500 and I knew carbon fiber was stronger than steel so I decided to use this repair kit. The boom was a little over 1/4" in diameter, very fragile and held together by two wires. I have attached pictures of the repair: 1. Microphone boom with temporary repair using electrical tape. 2. After removing the electrical tape I epoxied one edge of the carbon fiber to the 1/4" diameter shaft and let it set. Then I coated the entire carbon fiber strip and wrapped it around the microphone boom. The kit also includes heat shrink tape which I wrapped around the carbon fiber. I then applied heat to the tape using a hair dyer. The tape did a great job constricting the carbon fiber and sealed the repaired area. 3. Clamps were used to align the fragile 1/4" microphone boom while the epoxied carbon fiber cured for 24 hrs. 4. After curing the heat shrink tape was removed and the area was sanded with the sandpaper paper that was provided with the kit. 5. I used a black permanent marker to match the color of the microphone. When I delivered it to the customer they wer very pleased with the results. The carbon fiber repair kit did a great job and it will never break in the same area again!

this is a great kit for bike repairs, take your time, read the instructions

Repaired a broken seat stay, followed the instructions and got a beautiful plus strong reliable repair. Impossible to to see where i patched in the stay. Over 500 miles since the repair, i weigh 195 and ride hard. Very good product support. Prompt

Nothing to dislike, used it on a boat repair, worked excellent, thank you

Kit looks great! But the shipping was a bit of a problem with this item. Not sure why people pay for shipping to the door and then end up having to pick the item up with additional transport fees.
