Hi, 

 

just wondering if anyone knows any carbon fibre inspection places in Lincolnshire or nearish, 

back story, was involved in a RTA last week where the car reversed into me, somehow no external visual indication that anything is cracked, however the damage was enough to trash my back wheel, again, nothing seems cracked on this, more buckled because a number of spokes broke, so of course would like to get everything inspected/generate a report for potential insurance claim

thanks

There’s a place in Moira, South Derbyshire/North Leicester I think called Carbon Bike Repairs. I sent a good few people there and had good results.

Nothing to add directly, but last year my car got bumped a glancing blow on the front wing. Minor damage, I kept driving it till it got booked in to the bodyshop.  Because the suspension got a bit bent the insurers demanded that the front wheel and tyre were replaced.  There was no visible damage (maybe you could see that a bit of dirt had got smudged) but "the rules" don't allow them to take the risk.  

My insurer was Equity Red Star (ERS).  It might be helpful to ask if this is the case with bikes.
