I just got the Profile's Dromo Pro Handlebars (Carbon) and Wing Clips for my rig (yes, they are compatible). After installation of the Clips, I noticed that there is a small scrape on the Dromo handlebar. It does not look like the carbon fiber has been compromised, but it appears the the shiny gloss was scraped.

Is this something I need to worry about? Is there anyway I can repair it?

It's probably only cosmetic, but if you're worried, you may want to take it to a bike shop to have them look it over. Even if we did have a picture, nothing can replace having someone look at it in person.

To repair cosmetic damage to carbon parts, I use clear nail polish.

Superglue gets into teeny places. I put some on the gunwhale of a '97 Jetski and it lasted for years.

is there a negative effect the superglue will have on carbon? was your jetski carbon?
