My Frame cracking ?

[McD23]

Hi All,

So recently I been noticing my paintjob around my headset been 'cracking up' , frame is a 2012 SL4 Tarmac Pro ( bought new last year , less than a 1000km on it, 99% my riding mtb'ing nowadays ).

By chance I came across a thread this am about as recall from Specialised on all 2012/13 SL4 Pro framesets due to fork issue.

My question could this be related ?

Anyone else experience this with an Specialised SL frameset ?

Looks like the paint is cracking.Take it back and have it replaced under warranty.

I say it's a paint crack, but as said above take it back for warranty(or trade in on a real bike )

[McD23]

no. it certainly didn't look like that when I bought it!

[McD23]

Took it back to shop today, they sending it in.

Lets see what agents have too say, hopefully resolved quickly.

Ironically my Cannondale mtb is also in with warrantee issue so I am bikeless at the moment !

looks like the bearing is too tight in the frame

[McD23]

is that a factory thing or shop thing ?

Is that from the white cover ring chipping the top of the head tube, or from stress on the head tube?

Interested to hear what they say...

[McD23]

not from the white ring/cover, that's sits proud by about 1mm, doesn't make contact with frame.

either way its not your problem.

 

 

not uncommon to have cracks in a Spaz it seems
