If you have a carbon repair specialist near you that can accommodate your time constraints, that would be ideal.

Failing that, I don't think you have anything to lose by attempting a home repair (other than time) - I'd try a product like Marston-Domsel (MD) Megabond 2000.
- You can fill the shallower gaps with the epoxy.
- Bond the big piece to the frame with the epoxy; wrap it with adhesive tape for curing (but don't wrap it too tightly, you don't want to squeeze out all the epoxy). I wouldn't layer any carbon fiber material between the frame and the big piece.
- Layer some carbon fiber material around the area as you suggest.
- Leave yourself enough time for a few test rides once the repair is completed.

As a back-up plan, start researching a new local frame, or see whether maybe you can rent something where your holiday is?

Thanks for the info, one of my local carbon repair guys responded and he wil try to fix it.

I have a problem with my Mondince FM326, I'm leaving for a bike holiday in 2 weeks and was trying to remove my derailleur (SRAM Force XPLR) the screw was stuck and when I applied pressure a little part in the back of the frame snapped off. If I've had the time I would order a new frame but I am looking to repair it myself. I've included some photos do any of you guys think it is possible or should I just buy a new frame locally? And does someone have a good guide for repairing bits like thes or does it work the same as a cracked tube?

I think if I sand both pieces a little bit and then put some carbon fiber in between an glue them together with some carbon fiber around it should work.
Any tips/tricks and suggestions are welcome.

Regards Cedric

Ordered my 326 at the beginning of this week, what are good handlebar and carbon wheel brands?
I'm 183cm ordered a size M any recommendations on stem length or is a handlebar with stem unit a better option?
Looking to go for 45mm tires and SRAM Force XPLR AXS 1x13 trying to get everything ready by the start of March.

Ordered my frame a few days ago with the AD930-XC rims will put updates on my build as soon as it arrives.
Can you use car spray paint to paint the raw Carbon (wait with paint was to long)?
I would mount SRAM XO transmission any review about this combo?

I'm looking to also build a LCFS918 MTB but I have some concerns (as it is my first build), I weigh 105 kg will the frame (size L) hold my weight doing small jumps?
Should I buy Lightcarbon rims or shoud I buy brand ones locally for the service when something breaks (Belgium)?
What is the wait time for european deliveries (estimate)?

I really like some of the builds I see around here nice work everyone.
