ISCG tab cracked is the frame ok to ride ?

Hi I have just given the bike a clean and noticed the ISCG tab is cracked my question is am I ok to carry on riding it or is it a repair job ,never done it before so not sure how to proceed thanks ,Mark

ISCG tabs are just for hanging chain devices and bash guards off. Assuming the crack doesn’t run to any other part of the frame it’s fine. I would just run with the two remaining intact tabs, wouldn’t bother attempting a repair

Yah, me too. Usually they’re welded on or in a welded on plate so not even likely to propogate into the frame- though, I wouldn’t bolt anything to it.

Thanks you two just what I wanted to hear

Contrary to the above I would be worried that around the BB shell the crack could propagate and would keep an eye on it. It depends on how close the crack is to the stressed part of the BB shell, which direction it is going in etc and that could mean if it grows towards the BB shell you might want to lop it off to remove the crack completely. Drastic option and would be a worst case situation based on not seeing a photo.

This is what I am concerned about happening:

Is it a carbon YT? If so, then chances are it’s just a cosmetic crack that’s caused by the paint not having enough of the flexible additive errr, added.

If you’re the original owner, I’d be sending a picture to YT.

That was from a random thread I found on pinkbike, i’m not the OP

I know, it’s just that 9 times out of ten when you rad ‘cracked ISCG’ it’s on a carbon YT!

ahh, that was why it came up top of google then! :D
