The Look family - Look KG196, KG381 & 695 Aerolight

Incredible stable there Ho, and your commitment is commendable.

Maybe cutting the steerer and using this steerer externder by velobike could be an option?

Thanks, do you have a contact?

Thanks boarderline stupidity 😅

Ignore me - I emailed him yesterday about something and he’s retired

A friend recommended carbon reincarnation carbonframerepairs@gmail.com

Surely you have a claim to be the Look Museum of London🧐

Just emailed them, they said they will give it a go!

Fork to be taken off the bike and will be sent there now (purely because this is the only company which will take on this job)

Do you know what caused the damage to the steerer - overtorqued stem or something else?

Pretty much so, unfortunately this was caused by the aerostem wedge design:

@HoKe Rob Hayles does carbon repair and might be worth a shout. I didn’t think it was possible to extend carbon fork steerers but he seems to have found a way

Which company?

dont do this, you are going to be a dad, ride a safe not in need of repair, not 3 decade old carbon disc brake bike

You mean something like the 795 blade rs?

Oh wow, that's impressive.

Is he local? Unfortunately mine is more a d shape than a round one.

Carbon Recreation I believe

2013 is old? :(

I know I've contact Look and they've not responded to any of my email.

Wow, handlebar snapped?

Yap, tbf I’m not sure whether he was involved in a crash earlier or if it was a material defect. Luckily he managed to bring the bike to a stop during the descent.

That's weird - they've always been really good when I've messaged them...

Not sure where Rob Hayles is based but you should message him direct via insta. He's a lovely chap by all accounts

Let's pray this would work - granted with a little one around the corner probably won't be riding this bike as much as I would like.

Fingers crossed... where did you send it in the end?

Carbon Reincarnation

Bike feels amazing, no more lose stem.

The brakes needs a little more work (Especially the front)

Brakes are not working, anyone got a tutorial or a maintenance on this on how to strip and rebuild?
