Hi,
My carbon frame Giant Trance finally took a first bash to its cross bar on Sunday. It is a fairly small mark, about a millimetre by five millimetres, roughly on top, and looks like it just went through the paint but can't be sure.
I remember the bike originally came with some stickers that I think were to put over bashes - can't remember where they are but can probably dig them out, is that all I need to do?
Cheers.
I personally wouldn't cover it with anything. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't grow but it should be fine!
If I worried about all the 5mm chips on my scott spark I'd never ride it! 😯
The stickers were probably to prevent cable rub, does the area seem to have gone [I]soft[/I] at all when given a bit of pressure with your finger?
get some pictures up if you can...

t's probably fine[/url], but as above, don't cover it up.
OP here, thanks everyone, here is a pic:
You can kind of see something silver shining through..
Cheers

No softness 🙂
Get some pink zap super glue and wick it in to stabilise any loose fibres.
Araldite Rapid? I think it's quite similar to the epoxy used in CF.
