nicely done with the repair! I have a question regarding carbon repairs (not that i have any carbon to repair). If you repair a tube, as you have done, the repair area will be significantly stronger than the original area and therefore the stresses on the tube will no longer be evenly distributed along the tube but concentrated to the areas either side of the repair. Is that the case? and if so does it worry you?
