Hello guys! I got involved in a crash and hit my bike right in the point you see in the photo! It is made in carbon (Cube nuroad c:62). Do you think I can fix this with an epoxy resin? Or it’s too risky to ride?
Thanks

Get that to a dedicated carbon repair shop… no one here knows if there is structural carbon damage.
I would strongly advice you to not try this on your own.
Could be the top layers. Could be deep enough to destroy its structural integrity. Please get it checked and fixed by a professional and be ready to leave the frame behind before riding and injuring yourself.
Get someone qualified to inspect this, before you do any “repair”. And definitely do not ride it until then.
From the one pic, it looks to me like there’s considerable carbon damage to the head tube.
Someone who deals with carbon repair would be able to better assess viability and cost of a potential repair.
Honestly, for a repair you’ll probably pay the same as a new frame in Crash Replacement. I’d apply for that instead, instead of risking it all for a couple hundred €
Step 1 JB Weld
Step 2 send it.
Step 3 find a good cosmetic dentist to replace your teeth.
