Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

^ Agreed. It's damage tolerant until you damage it.

I would never consider attempting to repair that yourself, once the fibers are cut/torn they lose their strength. You can put all the epoxy you want on it but you will still have cut fibers.

The point is, the damage doesn't look that bad. The expoxy would be to seal it up.

Pic is focused on the wrong area... can't tell anything.

If you don't want to send it to Calfee, then get some sandpaper and one of those fiberglass + epozy kits and patch it yourself. Then cover with a sticker or something and you are good...
