Removed chainset today ready for fitting a new one and noticed some damage to the chainstay on the drive side, now i have only ever had chain suck once and that was on a filthy ride and the chain freed it self without any input from me, but the damage looks pretty full on to me, so some opinions please, is it bad or fine as the gouges(?) are pretty bad

not the best pictures as was losing focus when getting too close,

cheers rob

It’s only a flesh wound.

damn and i told the missus i might need a new frame [:twisted:]

Oh in that case it’s fecked for sure. 😉

a superficial wound only, I wouldn’t worry.

It’ll fracture eventually. You’ll need to order the new frame now. 😀
