Hi. I'm new here. I found this forum while I was trying to find some information on cracked GT Zaskar carbon frames. Last night, I noticed a possible crack in my 2008 GT Zaskar Team carbon frame. I can see it, but I don't feel a thing when I run my finger over it. The surface seems to be completely smooth. I think it's just cosmetic. Finding out people have cracked their Zaskar frames makes me worry though. I use my bike only for XC and road cycling. I have never abused it. The Zaskar carbon frame weighs about 300g more than the actually light XC frames. I assumed the extra weight would make it more durable. Now, I don't feel so confident about it. Here are some pictures of the possible crack: http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack01.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack01b.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack02.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack02b.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack03.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack03b.jpg No flash: http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack04.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss85/sfer1_album/th_GTZaskarCarbonPossibleCrack04b.jpg What do you guys think? Is it safe to keep riding it? Do you have any pics of your cracked frames? If yes, could you please post them? I'd like to compare them with mine. sfer12010-03-21 21:15:17
