  • Carbon frame repair – advice (adhesive)

    Hi,
    Ive a carbon frame that has an alloy pivot mount that has disbonded. I believe a Loctite 9466 looks to be suitable to try and bond back in – does anyone else have any experience or ideas of a better product?

    The mount is captive in the frame, and the design will pull the flange of the mount into the frame but the adhesive will need to take some serious shock loading.

    Its not something that i want to try a professional repair on, but i figure its worth a go before i buy a replacement rear triangle.

    Thanks,
    Kev

    which should work on carbon, it is basically superglue with a bottle of plastic powder (or aluminium) which you use to build up a layer of material where you need it – ideal for repairing carbon in small areas? the repair to my plastic cover is just as strong as the original cover. NOTE I just grabbed the link, think I paid £5.50 for mine only a month ago.

    I used the loctite 9466 to repair the loose bottom bracket insert on a scott spark, been OK for about 6 months now.
