Hello,
I managed to have a decent sized rock jump up and batter my downtube on my Anthem at the weekend – it put a few small dents in the downtube, one which is about 5mm circle, and about 1mm deep, it’s on the edge of the downtube, facing left and down – and the paint around that area has a horizontal crack in it, with some fracturing emmitting out from the area.
The force to the downtube wasn’t that much, but… is this gonna be the paint cracking due to the aluminium being bent near the impact, or is this gonna be the frame cracking itself?
I’ll get some photos up to better illustrate the dent and paint damage as soon as I can.
Cheers chaps
