Does anybody know someone who may be able to repair a carbon wheel? My Zipp disc has a small "ding" that needs some attention. I'm willing to pay well for a professional job.Thanks.

I am not sure if it can be done, but Hendrik would be able to tell you. He makes my carbon fibre fairings and repairs carbon exhaust canisters. He can wrap or replicate (from a mould) almost anything. He also makes the air boxes for the Toyota rally team. He knows his carbon. Contact 072 229-8764

Ask CHUNKY for details of Bill Irvin. He made all our deep section, tri spokes and disc wheels when we were racing on the track..damn good stuff, and he really knows his stuff.

The Flying V rims....
I remember a crash in TrexlerTown in USA with those wheels. Everyone walked away with broken equipment but me. Not even buckled.
