Replacing a damaged carbon frame can be a substantial financial commitment. For instance, a 2024 Trek Slash carbon frameset is priced at approximately $3,899 . In contrast, Trail Mechanic offers carbon frame repairs starting at just $450, depending on the extent of the damage. This substantial difference makes repair a more affordable option for many cyclists.
