Alpha Carbon was founded to offer professional carbon fibre repair services to cyclists and athletes. Carbon has a reputation of being a “throw away” material but, if done correctly, it’s an incredibly repairable material.

We inspect carbon frames and components for invisible damage, and we repair carbon frames from all brands.

We pride ourselves in easy booking, exceptional communication, fast turn-around, and above all a top quality, safe repair backed by science, technology, and skill.

We will also repair other fiberglass, carbon and composite items such as kayaks and paddles.

My interest in cycling started in the 1980s, when frames were steel, and 12 gears was cutting edge. I have an engineering background, am a qualified dental technician. My interest in carbon fibre and composite materials comes from my hobby of radio control aircraft. This started with building propellers for racing engines, through to wing spars for competition gliders, and large scale aerobatic aircraft.

I combine my love of cycling with my knowledge of composite material characteristics, load and stress functions, and my practical expertise, attention to detail, and experience in working with these materials to provide quality repairs to your bike frame.  

Former owners: Tristan Thomas and Cameron Wood

I would like to acknowledge the founders of Alpha Carbon Repair, Tristan Thomas and Cameron Wood. Tristan founded Wheelworks Handcrafted Wheels and grew it to be New Zealand’s premier wheelbuilding specialist delivering custom wheelsets to customers around the country, Australia, and Singapore.  Cameron Wood’s interest in carbon fibre started whilst studying Chemistry and Applied Physics that his passion for this amazing material kicked in.

Alpha Carbon Repair was purchased by Ross Heald in December 2021.
