Just came across this on my bike, I'm thinking it's a crack, or the start of one, at the chainstay - bb junction ๐Ÿ™

What do you think?

if it's under warranty then get it looked at now.

if not either;

mark the end of current cracks with permanent marker and monitor or send ff to that carbon repair bloke to look at (I'm assuming it's carbon...)

I measured it and marked it after taking the photo. Probably going to have it looked at though, if only for peace of mind.

Surface breaking defect.

I'd take it out of service & have it inspected. What you see on the surface is no indication of what's underneath. I'm not going with the "monitor it & have another look later" rationalle. At what point do you retire it from use to either effect a repair or bin it.
