Hi all,
I'm hearing (or imagining) some clicking from down below when I pedal hard and I wonder if this crack (or scratch) has anything to do with it. The frame (SC Blur) has a lifetime warranty but not sure if this isn't just superficial. TIA

Looks like a heavy impact. I'm guessing the nearby cracking paint might be evidence of the carbon caving in under the impact.

I'm reminded of this video:



The video says that the cracks spread and then becomes unrideable.

Also reminded of that one frame where a girlfriend took an axe to it. Funny how her impacts were futile on certain parts of the downtube.

"Downtube."

No doubt.
