Repairing a Chinese Carbon bike frame myself...
The reviewer discusses their experience with the OG-EVKIN CF-025 Carbon Road Frame, which they purchased directly from China. They mention that the frame was damaged during shipping, with a small crack inside the down tube, making it unsafe to ride. The company agreed to warranty the frame and send a replacement. Despite the damage, the reviewer decided to attempt a repair using a carbon fiber repair kit. They highlight that the frame was easy to work with during the initial build, with everything slotting together nicely and appearing to be of high quality. However, they noticed an intermittent clicking noise when sprinting, which they traced to the crack in the down tube. The reviewer successfully repaired the frame and tested it extensively, finding no further issues. They also received a custom-painted replacement frame with their logo and signature colors, which they are very pleased with.
