Cracked Bottom Bracket?

[gpcar]

Hi Hubbers,

It's this cracked or is the paint cracked?

Is it worth trying to repair?

Thanks

Might need a picture!

sorry had to make the picture smaller

[BMXER]

That would seriously worry me.

That looks like a lot more than paint cracking and if it is just paint then why is it cracking all the way around?

 

That's looks like a carbon frame should be reasonable easy and safe to get it fixed in that location?

[gpcar]

Well I did have a serious fall. So I'm assuming it's cracked.

Yeah probably won't ride it.

[Spoke101]

That is definitely cracked

[maakaplan]

Nah, should buff out. Don't be a sissy.

[Vetseun]

Make contact with BogusOne for an assesment if you don't have insurance. Alternatively if you have insurance just claim for a new frame.

I've fixed 2 Scott Spark 30's (full carbon frame) with similar damage.

 

What I've found with the Sparks is that the BB's aluminuim threaded inserts start corroding from water ingestion between the carbon and the insert. This causes corrosion that eventually causes the inserts to break free from the frame and start spinning in the frame.

 

Both repairs have held up so far.
