Pete grew up in Michigan where he started racing bikes when he was 10! Pete started building bikes in the local shop when he was 13. At 18 he moved to Tucson, Arizona to train for mountain bike racing full time while working as a mechanic there. He was back and forth between Wisconsin and Arizona for a few seasons racing and working full time in shops. He achieved a goal he set to race for the national team at a European World Cup in 2017. In 2019 he decided to settle down in Colorado to continue training towards even bigger goals!

We’ve been absent from social media for a while so we wanted to give everyone some updates about BC:
- Boulder location is busier than ever. We have 2 full-time employees that have thousands of repairs under their belt and are constantly working hard to get riders back on the trail
- Grand Junction location is up and running headed by our founder, Brady Kappius. Now taking drop offs and getting busier by the day. Will be looking to expand in the future!
- New bikes or warranty replacement bikes are harder to come by due to Covid19 - for this reason, it’s more important than ever to consider repairing your frame rather than replacing it! We have a 5 year transferable warranty on all of our repairs. We stand behind the science and engineering that goes into the repairs we perform.

What can you do to help Broken Carbon?
- Keep spreading the word about our services! Not everyone knows you can repair carbon fiber safely, and that it is often more cost effective than replacement.
- Ask us any questions you have about a broken bike you want to consider repairing!
- Keep getting outdoors and sharing the love of cycling

Also want to give a big thanks to our partners .customs for these awesome ceramic Cerakote mugs! Check them out for your custom paint needs!

Been busy repairing bikes instead of posting on Instagram lately! This hardtail came in after a drive side crash causing damage to the seat stay. Our carbon repair technician Jack got it repaired and added matte black paint. Now it’s ready to get back on the trail!

2020 was the year of more cycling and plenty of new Broken Carbon customers :) We are excited to continue spreading our mission of ‘repair don’t replace’ going into 2021! Contact us if you or a friend has a bike that needs help getting back on the road or trail.

Turn around times may be slightly extended, but we can fix your bike! Please be cautious while riding both indoors and out. We have seen an uptick in trainer related damage like the one below.
