Bent carbon frame?
My Scott CR1 has a slight problem in that the Record rear mech collided with a Campag Shamal spoke and damaged both. Cue a new rear mech and a spoke BUT a LBS insisted that the carbon frame is also bent and they won't put it in a jig to straighten it. How can a Carbon stay bend?

Stress any material beyond its elastic limit (yield strength) and it will deform and stay deformed. You can't bend it straight again.. thread on the problem he http://forums.mtbr.com/drivetrain-sh...e-1048540.html |

When a carbon frame is damaged it can't be repaired. It is NOT "bent" after all, it's just that THAT particular LBS didn't fance the wheel faffage. A different LBS will fit a new Shamal spoke, a new £80 Centaur rear mech and in the meantime I am riding this Trek. http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/trek1400.jpg |

What do you think the yield stress of, say, a china plate is? Do you think you can bend that so it stays bent? And any material bent plastically stays bent forever.

Hmm. regards, Ian SMith a broken plate IS deformed. everything has a certain limit of flexibility, even china. once that limit is reached, damage occurs, either it stays bent or breaks. |

But I guess that since it is an insert, rather than an integral piece of frame it is not so critical. The carbon bits of the frame end at the wheel dropouts which are aluminium. It is only the rear mech hanger bit which is bent so it can be gently eased back which is good news. Here is a Carbon frame that has been in a real crash - as can be seen, they don't really bend as such. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dhp1wzMWsAIcMUf.jpg |
