The Drongo Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I would be mildly concerned about this.Based on it's proximity to the dropout. I would suggest sending these images to CSS. Strangely enough, in discussing this new design recently I raised the issue of how strong this section of the casting would prove to be.Apparently not strong enough!
TheV Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I think it's really bad... much worse than a simple cosmetic problem... I've seen this before... I think your forks are being eaten alive by superbugs..... Do your research... read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_corrosion "Microbial corrosion, also called bacterial corrosion, bio-corrosion, microbiologically-influenced corrosion, or microbially-induced corrosion (MIC), is corrosion caused or promoted by microorganisms, usually chemoautotrophs. It can apply to both metals and non-metallic materials."

Kranky Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I hope you gave your friend a for stopping on the trail.
Woolf Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 That is a serious issue as you are now out of balance. I suggest that you put a Power Balance bracelet over that hole immediately.
PurePower Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 Hahahahhaha..... gonna send the pics to Cape Cycles and take it from there.
