And here i am trying to figure out how to make cable entries in a carbon frame (do i simply drill small holes on it?) because i want to use a non-integrated stem and handlebar combo that does not have internal routing
Nice job on the carbon work. That's pretty close to what I've had to do while working on carbon components on aircraft. It's great you did this video too since doing "repairs" like this are one of the advantages of carbon frames over metal bike frames. If (BIG IF) I were to buy a carbon bike and use wireless shifting, dropper post or suspension components that are currently on the market this is exactly what I would due to remove the unnecessary holes in my frame. All kidding aside on the "wireless brakes" mentioned in other comments.👍🤣👍 It is technically something that could be done, but again what's the point. There wouldn't be a weight savings since the wireless setup would need batteries for each component, etc... just not worth it in IMHO. However that doesn't make the idea of that kind of technology less cool. Just like Magura's drool worthy ABS system for E-bikes is.. I just can't afford it though!
I feel as though filling holes on a steel or aluminum frame would be even easier than with carbon because you could send it to an experienced TIG welder.... no?
@@RC-fp1tlonce te aluminium is welded because of the heating it will never be the same. And an someone might comment that from an engineering point of view it's possible/sensible/weakens the frame ever so slightly. In practice your frame will brake in that spot once and again. It's very common for aluminium frames used for bike trials to get welded before a year of use has gone by, and the moment the frame is fixed all nearby areas fail. I guess you could re-heat-treat the whole frame though.
ETOE hello there. I have a question! If I want to hide aluminium welds with some kind of spartel. Then what kind of spartel would you use? Metal puddy , or?...
Can you explain about matte black, flat black, satin black, gloss black, semi-gloss black etc. and side by side comparison, differences, should I use different primer, clear coat for each of them. (I am painting on a steel frame)
It`s not the black that makes those differences, it`s every time the clear coat that creates these effects. Just find different clears attached: matte: amzn.to/3JIXZVW semi matte: amzn.to/3JpiQfT high gloss: amzn.to/3Z74QgF disclaimer: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.

Hi Martin, I love your channel ! Just a question: as the hole was originally on the frame, this does not question the solidity, so could we use glass fiber instead of the pieces of carbon fibers you mix in the resin ? Thx !
Hello Martin, great video. Do you think something like this could also be done on a braking surface of a carbon rims? Do you think it would hold up to the use of rim brakes?

Bringst du noch ein Video heraus wie du nun weiter machst? Die Stelle muss nun offensichtlich gefüllt werden bevor Lack drauf kommt!? Verwendest du Füllspachtel oder machst du das mit dem Primer?
I'm sorry, can you link to one of your videos where you specify what type of airgun paint/primer/lacquer do you use for bike frames? thanks!! cant seem to find it
Hi Martín. Ich bin seit ca 11 Stunden am schleifen von meinem ktm mtb. Bisher allerdings nur die Schwinge geschafft. Aber darum geht es nicht. Ich habe vor mein bike im Carbon Look zu lassen und mit einem Hologramm Lack zu lackieren. Ich möchte nur ein paar Akzente mit Kupfer metallic setzen. Meine Frage daher, in welche Schicht soll ich das Pulver für die holographic Optik mischen, in der ersten Klarlack, oder in der zweite /letzen? Danke dir. Ps. Nur durch deine hilfreichen Videos habe ich den mit gefasst mein neues bike selbst zu gestalten.
Ne mal im erst bitte, möchte nichts falsch machen. In einem anderen Video hast du gesagt, man sollte das Pulver erst in der letzen Schicht zufügen, da sonst durch jede weitere Schicht der Lichteinfall gebrochen wird und der Effekt nicht mehr sichtbar wäre. In einem anderen fügst du das schon früher hinzu, so hab ich es zumindest verstanden. Bitte um hilfreiche Antwort. Lg sam
Cause you have to store it in a fridge and you have to cure it at minimum 120 Degree Celsius. Not possible for most of my followers. I show solutions which are possible to do for my followers.
@@hankschrader2353 are we talking wireless as in Bluetooth wireless?, or "wireless" as in the cables are all hidden? Pardon my ignorance im just trying to learn 😂
Martin, your cat butt towel dispenser is brilliant! I found myself giggling like a little girl... My question is, is it a left handed or right handed cat 😺???? Or perhaps it's ambidextrous????
But noone watches videos where I'm good at but lots of people watch these videos. Only a dumb as would stick to what he's good at if noone is interested in.
hi etoe may i know the result vid of this frame
Here is the build of this frame: th-cam.com/video/LtrBZ36jboc/w-d-xo.html
Nice! Now you got a better and faster method than in your older Carbon repair videos 👍

The cat butt....hillarious. What pressure and blaster orifice nossle do you run for cherry pits ? Great video as always

love the channel. bought d.i.y. level stuff. Still scared to spray. I'll get there.
Do you use water based or solvent based paint when you airbrush ? Thank you , big fan of your work.
Both

You can use also a stack of hay or what ever you have on hand.
@@ETOE 😅
@@jerometridon6333Glass fiber would be better then carbon
What is the alternative sand blasting media to use if no cherry grit available...?
Sand it by hand! There is no alternative.
Great video, as they all are. I will need to rent some time at a local shop to strip some carbon frames. What media do you use, pressures, etc?
he has a video on that
I need to know if it’s safe to use an angle grinder with a paint scraper attachment on a carbon frame
No it's not.
Hi Etoe any recommendations for online companies that will replicate my decals for me 😬 thanks love the vids
No idea
Gracias por compartir 👍 maximo respeto y mucha vibra positiva 😎
Hello Martin, great video. Do you think something like this could also be done on a braking surface of a carbon rims? Do you think it would hold up to the use of rim brakes?
It could but you need a mould for accuracy.
Cool technique
Thanks!
You are a painting guru!
If Ive sanded through the epoxy seal on the carbon and have exposed the carb a little bit, can I seal that with a 2k primer?
No you need to use this one: amzn.to/3IX80gI

where do you get your blasting media? I have been looking for cherry pit blasting media and I cannot find it. Link?
What about the inside of the tube? what is done there?
It's patched like shown in the video.

Why not use pre-preg carbon fibre?? 🙂
Cause you have to store it in a fridge and you have to cure it at minimum 120 Degree Celsius. Not possible for most of my followers. I show solutions which are possible to do for my followers.
I sound exactly like that when I talk while pinching my nose
Genuine question... Why would you want to do that? I always thought that was a pretty desirable feature.
Wireless brakes 😂
@@ETOE No shit? 🤔 im not a big bike person, I don't know it you're yanking my chain or if that's something super cool I didn't know existed...! 😂
@@superrad1659 Wireless shifting. The brake hose goes into the frame hole on the other side.
@@hankschrader2353 are we talking wireless as in Bluetooth wireless?, or "wireless" as in the cables are all hidden? Pardon my ignorance im just trying to learn 😂
@@superrad1659 SRAM make fully wireless drivetrain components. The brakes still need hoses tho

It has no hands, only feet.
120 gr9it only? what happened to wet sandra and 800?
She dryed out.
Why not using a rubber plug to cap it? 😅 (or a plastic white cap?)

Martin. Love your work, but stick to what your good at…. Your no composite technician😅
But noone watches videos where I'm good at but lots of people watch these videos. Only a dumb as would stick to what he's good at if noone is interested in.
And 99.9 of the people aren't, who watch the video's? Sounds like you're missing the whole point of these videos! .......
why would you patch up the cable entries and why would it make me money?
Because it makes me money.
So that's not really a repair? Was the frame broken? Or are you just filling a hole ?
Just like s*x. It's all about filling the hole.
@@ETOE didn't think it was a cracked frame
@@jimbo4203 it was a brand new fresh from factory frame.
Oh , ok
but why???
Because wireless brakes 😂
@@ETOEwireless shifters, not breaks I would guess. Shimano Di2 or SRAM eTAP.
WTF! Kkkkkkk 1:04
🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼🫡
Nice to see "how", but i don't think it is a good idea to patch them...
