Got an MTB accident and my rear frame was cracked. This product saved me $800 or a rear triangle! It was easy to use and I have been riding for the last 6months with and it handle pretty well. No sign of weakness or new crack. I’m riding in pretty rough trails so I can tell that those carbon sheep are very strong

I found the instructional video on YouTube to be ok... I watched a few others (not made by Predator) to get a better idea of how to do this. My repair was near the chainstay / bottom-bracket, which is a lot less convenient area than the middle of a tube or something. I found it all to be fairly easy, except when it came to applying the shrink tape. That was a NIGHTMARE. Mostly due to the location of the repair. Wish the instructions had some tips for getting that tape to work on an odd-shaped part of the frame. It was like trying to wrap a sprained ankle with sheet metal.The materials in this box cost at MOST $25, so a price of $99 seems gouge-y to me.

This was my first attempt and it turned out pretty good. I used eight layers. Electric sander, then went down to hand sanding. It seems incredibly strong.. I will color match or maybe I won’t. Ha ha.

I used this kit to repair a radial crack in the top tube of my Yeti. I was very happy with the outcome. You might be able to find the items in this kit cheaper if you buy them separately, but this makes it easy and is still 4000% cheaper than the alternative (new frame).One tip: make sure the epoxy soaked carbon sheets don’t move out of position as you’re wrapping the heat shrink tape. Mine slid ~1cm, which ended up being ok.They recommended covering the repair to prevent UV damage, so I used 368-0061 clear coat spray (Be careful around this stuff, it’s like aerosol super-glue) to finish after sanding. A few coats left a very nice protective layer that I’m happy with, with the exception of a little roughness at the edges of the spray (I didn’t spray the whole frame).

It works amazingly! However, I also used an epoxy and injected it into the frame crack to build up the inside walls prior to the repair process. One small suggestion is that you may want to add extra shrink tape to the order. Not very much provided. One tip on process, it is easy to over do the epoxy and make a mess. Cover that frame with tape and use the epoxy sparingly...

Kit looks great! But the shipping was a bit of a problem with this item. Not sure why people pay for shipping to the door and then end up having to pick the item up with additional transport fees.
