[#7071272]

Having taken a gouge out of my carbon fibre XX crank arm (despite crank boots, although I suspect would have been much worse without) courtesy of a rock I decided to see if Milliput would do a good job of repairing the damage (which was cosmetic, but a bit ugly) - so in case it's of any use to anyone, black Milliput does a great job of repairing little gouges in carbon fibre! Likely it will result in my imminent death, but it looks much better now...!

Covering up indeed, it was more of a scratch than a gouge but it still annoyed me. In a year or two when there are scratches everywhere it will probably cease to bother me.
Are they so much lighter to be worth having? I can't help thinking they won't last like a decent metal one would.

Bang in a wicking superglue like zap pink and then fill with an epoxy resin like SP. Not just cosmetic.

I'll make a note of that...although Milliput is super sticky and epoxy based, so very strong too.
