Carbon bike frame cracked?

lob · 2014-10-12 18:48:38

I have a carbon road bike and there are small hairline cracks in the paintwork. Is there any where that I can get the frame checked to see how serious the cracks are.

Difficult to say really. Do you have any photos? The guys may be able to direct you to someone who can xray it to see if the crack it just paint or the frame.

Take it back to bike shop, if it's under warranty they should be able to send it back to get it checked. Know Giant have lifetime garuntee , guy from neighbouring club got 3 yr old frame replaced when crack appeared . Pinarellos are 3 yr I think some are 12 months .
