I've just noticed a fair bit of bubbled paint on the crown of my Lyriks (less than a year old).
Has anyone seen this before, is just corrosion under the paint? Should I bother contacting RS importers (Fishers?)

Anyone??!
I worked in a bike shop for a few years a while back and I saw a few cases of this with rockshox forks. Most people just lived with it but we did send a couple of pairs off for warrany with Fishers. As far as I remember both sets of forks were replaced, although they were within their rights to just replace the crown / steerer unit. One thing you realise about warranties after you have worked in a few different bike shops is that the response of the distributor has a lot to do with the size of the account the shop you bought your forks from has and how tenaciously they persue the problem (especially with boarderline isues like this). It's in your best interest to be friendly and keep the shop on side, that way they are more likely to chase up the warranty claim with Fishers. But you will be without your forks for a minimum of three weeks I reckon.
Oh yeh, in answer to the question, it is oxidisation of the crown underneath the paint. It is just cosmetic...
