I cracked my frame by using a homemade workbench that broke. Should I bring my frame to a pro, do it myself, or not fix it at all.

Take it to a professional repair business, that looks like a fairly straightforward fix.
>>
>>1060822
If that crack goes all the way through, you're fucked and will need a new frame, not repairable.

>i fucked my shit up because of some crapy homemade stuff

You're obviously bad at homemading stuff so maybe you should bring it to a pro if you don't want to die...

But since you're concidering fixing it yourself or even not fixing it i suppose you're kind of suicidal ?

Duct tape that frame and it'll be as strong as when it was brand new.

CF is ALWAYS repairable.

You just need more CF

FFS its not rocket science, sand it rough its entire length between joints, epoxy, wrap. epoxy, wrap, smooth. wipe away drips as they form until they stop forming , let dry, done..

Any suggestions for an inward bend in the frame

oof ouch

Most bike shops cannot and will not fix carbon, but carbon frame builders sometimes will. What state/country do you live in?
>>
>>1060822
>can't even make a workbench
>thinks he can fix carbon fiber
Nah, let someone else do it.
>>1061502
False
>>
>>1061531
>do this
>frame now completely shatters in another spot when you ride over a small bump

Nigga's going to need to find a specialist. CF's biggest strength is also its biggest weakness.

That's a nasty dent, and you're probably not going to get that one out - you could try to roll out the dent with frame blocks but it doesn't look like it would do much good.
