My carbon fiber wheelset can be repaired by a local Fiberglass fabricator

Our colleague whom we sent to scout for the carbon bike wheel repair just came and reported that the wheelset can be repaired.  All that they have to do is to build up the rim and sand paper to be flat.

That is nothing compared to big job repair of cut and/or broken wheelset, stays, and even tube.

The workers according to the staff are very young,, and hopefully they will not charge much.   

I can only surmise this is their site?    https://rj-bodykits-carbon-fiber-fiberglass.business.site/

However I was quoted a steep price P2,500 for the job.    I negotiated.  Last price is P2,000.  But they will make sure the repair leaves the wheel balanced and flat/even.  



                                                    The more high end alternative

However, I just learned that all that they can do is:

1.   Build up the rim;
2.   With another color (not the original one) and the friction part cant be redone
3.   The wheel seem to be a bit twisted (arising from the motorcycle collision last February 1 2020  at Mabalacat.

This street dancing at Mabalacat called Caragan delayed our Feb 20 ride by at least 30 minutes

We were delayed in our ride last Friday February 20 2015 because of a street dancing celebration called Caragan. It named after an Aeta Chief named Garagan  who was  married to a Mabalaquena.

The entire length of Mabalacat from the poblacion up to SCTEX flyover  held up all traffic at MacArthur Highway to standstill... Mabalacat mayor plans to have this fiesta a national event.   Here is the You Tube video
