Carbon Fiber repair?

[jucam]

I managed to let my bike slip from my hands and damaged it.

One of the main bummer is the carbon fiber part (see picture)
As you know it's quite pricey to change.

Is there somebody in town that can fix it ?

If there's still clear coat on it you can try sanding with 3000grit and polish, if it's not you'll have to make it smooth and clear it again...

Thats through the clear. You'll need to lay resin over top and then polish it out

Ya that is through to the CF fabric. It would have to be sanded down carefully and to not damage more of the weave and then re-epoxied and wet sanded then re cleared with urethane. Hard to see from the picture where that is and how noticeable it would be but you may have to sand all the clear off then repair and re-clear the whole piece. If that is real Akropovic then repair it if it is China Akrapovic then it might be cheaper to get another one.

PM me if you want me to take a look.
