Services
We use a number of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to check for damage, without causing any more. Our experienced carbon repair technicians are able to identify stress indicators and damage. A preliminary method to test for the presence of damage in cylindrical structures such as bike tubes. Our World Cup experienced mechanic and Cytech Technician can check over the componentry for you.
Our structural carbon fibre repairs will restore your frame to its former strength, available in different levels of paint finish to suit your budget. We can safely and reliably repair structural damage to practically all areas of your frame, whether it is the result of a knock or fall, crash damage, abrasion, or a complete mystery.
Our protective option leaves the repaired area finished in either a solid gloss black or white section over the repair. We don't like to leave things looking untidy so we will always strive to tie the protective section in with the existing paintwork design. If the area being repaired has some quite complex paintwork that you are not overly attached to, we can simplify the design to help keep the cost down.
The underlying principle that we adhere to is that 'to solve a problem, you first have to fully understand it'. More than a decade of experience in the composites industry, and many years devoted solely to the inspection and repair of carbon bike frames, has given us a unique understanding of the subject, and an excellent position to assess both the design and manufacturing quality of your latest product.
Your local bike shop should be able to help you out with an empty cardboard frame box, a children's bike box is also usually the right size. A good rule of thumb is to send your frame to us packaged how you would like it returned, when it isn't broken. Make sure to add additional padding to the contact points, the parts of your frame that come into contact with the box.

I had a damaged front derailleur hangar which had pulled out of the frame. I was in an urgent rush to get repaired, the frame manufacturer quoted an insane amount and offered an 8 week turnaround. I called Target Composites, very helpful on the phone, dropped it off, inspected,. repaired and returned within 2 days. Amazing service, knowledgeable supplier and good value for money. They will become my go-to carbon fiber repair specialist from now on (fingers crossed i don't need them again though)!!

When my Canyon Speedmax frame failed on a training ride two and a half weeks before I was due to go to the Long Distance Triathlon World Championships, I was distraught. Canyon were unable/unwilling to help and there seemed to be no spare frames in the country.
I contacted Target Composites and found them very reassuring, professional, and rapidly responsive. Despite having loads of work to do they managed to fit me in and had my frame ready to collect in plenty of time to get it built up and travel to the race.
I didn't have time for a cosmetic repair, though I've seen their results in other

From start to finish excellent service.
Immediate replies from Phil on the emails, it seemed a simple-ish repair, but a normal bike shop couldnt do it, as carbon specialists i had to drive 60miles to get to them, but they had it repaired in an hour or so ready for me to pick up and take home.
Very grateful for their professionalism and help. Absolutely definite recommend from me.

Wasn't sure what to expect as I'd not had a carbon repair done before. I was absolutely delighted with the job when I collected the frame. It was badly cracked on the crossbar just before the seat post. I could have had the carbon pattern matched exactly but chose the cheaper option and had a black wrap of around 7 inches along the crossbar. Very happy with the repair and cost. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Target composites.

Great service by Target Composites - after a scan of my carbon fork steerer, I had the signs of carbon delaminating due to age. Lucky being a Specialized s-works this was covered under a lifetime warranty and the report and advice provided by the Composite Target team, saved me the usual fob off from the LBS and a warranty replacement was provided!

Cannondale carbon fibre road bike frame repaired by Target Composites. Very happy with the quality and finish of the repair. Collection and delivery was made easy by the administration team. Kept up to date of the repair progress. The team are very busy, but the final result is worth the wait. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

This company is outstanding. After the purchase of a new carbon road bike from a well known manufacturer a crack soon appeared by the bottom bracket of the frame. I was struggling to get an assessment of the affected area from the manufacturers so contacted these guys who were more than happy to take a look. A few days later, an ultrasound and regular updates they concluded a manufacturering defect. They sent me a report and and as a result my frame is now being replaced with a new one😁. They are professional, knowledgeable, and very customer focused. Would definitely recommend.

Amazed! I feared the worst when my chain dropped and I heard a crunch on my Dogma F10😖 Emailed these guys, got a VERY fast response and took my frame down for repair. Phil knew exactly what he was talking about and explained the process thoroughly. Work completed a week earlier than scheduled and looks brand new again!! Can not thank you enough. Now to get on with the pesky internal routing and rebuild!!

Bit late writing this but just wanted to acknowledge the diamond service offered by Target Composites. During first lockdown spent my time outside work in a hotel and road and mountain bike off road with significant repairs - road bike went to Target due to cracked carbon on back triangle both sides. Phil and the team got me back out on the road… with a really considerate and tailored service. Real gents making sure I had the option to spend what little downtime I had out on the bike. The works were top drawer and paintwork exceptional. No visible sign of repairs. That first lockdown was

I had a crack to my seat stay on my Trek Emonda SLR. The staff at Target Composites could not have been more helpful. They advised of the cost and the repair, kept me updated on expected repair date and then advised when complete. The repaired area is impossible to tell any difference from the original in surface finish or paint colour. Today I managed to go for my first ride and the bike rides as it did before. I really cannot recommend Target Composites enough. Fantastic to deal with in every aspect. Many thanks Mark Doyle

I’d just like to say another massive “thank you” to Phil and his team for another stunning job. Brand new bike and on one of my first rides I picked up a stone chip on the lower outside of the chain stay. Initially very small, but it was right where the hard plastic ankle adjuster is on my Sidi shoes, so on occasion when sprinting my heel cup can… brush the stay. Over the next few rides the chip became larger so much so I could no longer hid it with touch up paint. I patched it with correct touch up the best I could and covered the lower part of the stay with frame protector
