    I'm hoping this isn't a crack beneath my BB. I can't get to the LBS till tomorrow so - thoughts?

    is there a photo attached as I can't see any.
    I had what looked like a hairline crack in my front fork on my Giant. I brought it back to LBS and thought it may just be a crack in the paint and they said it defo was not and sent the fork back to Giant. Had a replacement fork fitted within a week courtesy of Giant, no questions asked and the bike was 4 years old. Better to be safe than sorry. I still shudder when I think that I did a mountainous 100km the week before on it.

    Looks like a scrape in the paint (photos are both fairly blurred though). The BB is the thickest part of the frame, if taken chips out of the paint on mine and the carbon is fine.

    Very hard to see that to be honest.

    The phone is an S8! Its fine!

    In future pull the camera away a little, then zoom the photo up in paint. Putting it so close gets you nowhere ;)
