I'm having FD issues on my carbon frame. Basically, it seems that there is some movement where the braze on mount for the FD is bolted to the frame. It seems to be a known issue on some carbon frames and one that is countered by certain manufacturers by reinforcing the carbon at this point.

So, I'm looking into finding a carbon specialist who may be able to reinforce this area for me. Can anyone recommend someone to speak to? Or does anyone have any experience with this?

Ryan at Oak Cycles was telling about how he does exactly this, to new frames, just the other day. His workshop is in Southwark.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
