My wife has a Scott RC Contessa 2018 and myself ride a Scott RC 900 World Cup 2017 model. After the recent W2W we discovered that the BB on my wife’s bike was chafed quite severely by the cables running below it - see attached pic.. To my dismay I discovered a similar groove below the BB of my bike as well. I took both bikes for a post-W2W service at my local Scott bike store. They were as surprised as I was and swear it is the first time they’ve noticed it. This was never an issue on any of our previous Scott bikes, but all of them were the old design. I was wondering whether anybody on a 2017 Scott RC and newer, have experienced something similar and why this will happen? The one possibility is that the cables will start to chafe away at the BB when you ride the bike soft and not locked out. i am still awaiting Scott’s reaction, but will appreciate any contribution to solve this “mystery”.
