Carbon saddle repair
Greetings!
I've reached out to Ruckus and they don't repair components. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions... neither looking to break the bank nor am I interested in messing around with resins and carbon myself. Any suggestions? |

If a repair fails while you're riding on it it will be a literal PITA.

But depending on the saddle it might make more economic sense to just ditch it. |

Maybe he can help, he's in Montreal as well.
If i recall correctly he's an ex Bombardier worker that started doing this full time. |

There's a good chance this will end up in my brother's junk pile if I can't find an economical solution.

What's the risk vs reward between riding a repaired carbon saddle and saving a little cash?

Worst case you get a butt full of carbon fiber splinters and crash and cause other people to crash...

Well if all else fails he could just take a cue from Florida Man by ditching the saddle altogether....

Without knowing what type of repair is needed (seat rails or shell) I won't say whether it is a good idea or not but I would definitely contact Joey Robison at framedoctor911.com. He not only does carbon fiber repair and frame restoration in the bike world but does some pretty cool carbon fiber projects including his own Porsche 914. I have personally worked with him on a carbon fiber saddle project and I am confident that if the repair can be done and should be done Joey can walk you through all the pros and cons of doing it.

You are lucky that you are not doing business with them. They are horrible!

As someone who dabbles in carbon fiber, I would say this depends a lot on what the damage is. Carbon rails would be very difficult and likely cost-prohibitive to repair. Other parts of the saddle may be doable depending on what the damage is.
