Reg Lizard Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Went to 3 bikeshops and the verdict is.......(tell you afterwards) but obviously need the hubbers expert adviceSo is this a crack or not?
SwissVan Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Is that a brake lever or handle bar? Surface cracks ja... SwissVan2010-01-15 06:38:35
Andyr249 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Looks like a crack. And the bike shops say it is a scratch?
SwissVan Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Nah its a steerer tube. Ok so then 2 non structural cracks in the protective coat. Immenint failure is unlikely. Pass / Fail ?
Mudsimus Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I dont think its a crack. Very unlikely place for a crack to start for know reason.
kennyg Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Put your finger in the top. Run your nail on the inside, if there is any kind of surface deviation on it, it is terminal failure. Crack gaurantee there. But otherwise, its a great place for cracks to start.
Mudsimus Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Oh pleaze.... It's "for NO reason" I meant to say.. I know the reason..
Gasping Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Oh pleaze.... It's "for NO reason" Would you please not spell please as pleaze?
manbearpig Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Crack or scratch, it's still a weak point, if you're a fatty it's gonna break, if you're a skinny it's gonna take longer to break. Get my point...?
Cycho Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 only real way to know...get the carbon x-ray ppl in!
Cycho Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 ...or put it in a vice and stress it till it breaks to see if that is the weak point!
