    Just wondering what people with carbon bike experience would make of this? Found the cracks today on my 2010 Focus Cayo, I really want to believe its just the paint but theres something about it I'm not really trusting.. the lads down in thinkbike reckon it could be for the worse and suggested getting some photos of to wiggle/focus and see if they've seen it before and what can salvaged from the warranty etc... which i'm doing but just looking for some more opinions on it in the meantime and see if anyone has experienced something similar...

    Hi, looks a bit worring tbh. Have you had any creeking or unusual noise fromthat area?
    Just wondering- It`s a BB30 bottom bracket and there`s obviously been an adaptor shim inserted. Was this inserted by Wiggle or afterwards? May cause issues with warranty if worst outcome results.
    Just to clarify , i`m not saying it was incorrectly inserted btw.
    Would be interested to know the outcome please

    No audible noise that I'm aware of... and yea wiggle placed that adapter on, its all still pretty much the standard set up... still no word from wiggle on it, they are the contact for focus uk it seems too... hopefully hear something tomorrow. Been half thinking of buying a new bike recently if i could work out the finance, something along the lines of a look 566, a rebuild with a new carbon frame is looking like it'd cost the same as a new focus anyway... I'll see how the warranty goes first
