apparent CF cracking/splitting...

wallymann · #1 03-02-2021, 02:21 PM

...down near the rear dropouts. normally i'm pretty tolerant of minor CF issues, but this is at a bonded interface.

would you be concerned?

That's about as well done as it gets right there.

Yep, I'm with Angry on this one. Stick a fork in that frame unless you want to send it out for repair.

yep, I agree. Steel has never been real-er. That would go onto the wall.

I wouldn't ride as-is, but it probably wouldn't be terribly hard to repair that.

Aluminum corroded, expanded inside the carbon tube causing the split. Fixable but good luck finding those parts. Usually on those Colnagos the dropout just rots away.

I think the line that runs perpendicular to the tube might just be a masking line...then again I checked my master B stay with those same dropouts/stays and the black paint on the dropout is blended into the clearcoated carbon.

Toasted, then deep fried twice.

That's done.

there's evidence of cracking if i zoom in on the original fotos...and it arrived w/o any support for the rear-triangle.

Did you buy it and it came that way? I’d say it’s shot.

I bet you're pissed but good...

If that's a recent purchase - return it and get your money back.

Return to Sender

You just bought that? Did the seller tell ya the frame was toasted?

Return, hopefully..gonna be a shi%show, no doubt.

Walter, I would not think keeping the drop out apart would cause that damage. Seems like a horizontal impact damage so possibly in transit, but I would agree with the alloy/carbon theory.

I have a C40 that has some ugly looking rear drop out, I have not ridden in a while worrying it will crack.
