This unit describes the performance outcomes required to determine the extent of damage to carbon fibre bicycle frames, and undertake the necessary repairs. It involves preparing for the work, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, assessing frame damage, selecting repair materials, repairing and finishing the carbon fibre frame to manufacturer specifications, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the bicycle retail, service and repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
