I'm sure I've read on here about some carbon frames with air bubbles in the laquer, i think it was on some Ibis mojos.How where these rectified?Was the frame replaced or something else.I have a carbon frame with patches of small bubbles but the importers don't seem very keen to replace it.What am i entitled to? Oh and its NOT an Ibis!

I got a few on my ribble sportive on the rear of the head tube - tiny little one - I know you can get them when the outer laquer is too hot when in manufact. Like when you take a heat gun to paint ?

Had this on a cannondale, got a new frame off them....eventually. If it is a cannondale - good luck! I wish I never bothered.
