Raydek Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 It is in the pivot area between the rear shock linkage and the seat stay. Should I be worried?
rvdm1 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 To me it looks like a crack in the paint from a bump against something. Doesn't look to be in the area that carries the actual load/stress. IMO
Pulse Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 The paint crack looks like its due to impact (radiating outwards from a central point). I would definately be worried. Don't think you would have suck a paint crack without damage to the structure.

Pulse Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Just take it to LBS and have it checked out. It will give you peace of mind.

GrantRH Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 So relieved this thread wasn't about the other 'crack'
Raydek Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 So relieved this thread wasn't about the other 'crack' Plumber or powder??

IMO If it is just paint crack, is there a way to stop it from spreading?? Clear nail polish it something.
