    Hi, simple question. What do PRO teams do with Carbon Fiber frames after a crash ? They are disposed, sold or re-used ?

    (Assuming that the crash was significant but left no noticeable cracks)

    They are replaced ... sometimes, repaired.

    CALFEE can repair damaged carbon fiber frames.

    If a frame has been killed(and a lot of them are), they get sent back to the manufacturer and I am pretty sure they are examined then destroyed.
