Hmmmm, I think this is a factory defect.

It's not a technical trail. I am simply pointing out the obvious.. Maybe you missed it.

Nah, despite your best attempts to obfuscate, I got it thanks

Thing is that some will do it.

I've seen something similar been fixed before. PM me if you want details.

I think you should start a social media smear campaign to force Scott to replace that!!

So my boss has been riding this bike for the last 6-7 years and he only rides on the road or occasionally at Northern Farms (Which isn't really mtbing  ).

 

He came to me last week to put it up for sale as he upgraded to a 29er. After the first potential buyer met up with him over the past weekend he came back to me and told me that he didn't sell it as he noticed something on the frame which concerned him. 

 

Fast forward to the pictures and have a look and let me know what you guys think - I was gobsmacked to say the least! I've never seen something like this and I honestly feel that this had to be a factory defect. 

 

Because this frame is older than 5 years (Scott Aspect) I will need some advice on where to get it repaired if at all possible 

 

Chuck it in the rubbish

Your heading was like a click bait You Tube video looking for views. Dammit, it worked, I read through all the posts.

Ride with a incorrectly tightened fork with play in the headset and metal fatigue/cracks will eventually occur.
