Received this new Nukeproof frame today and its taken a little ‘ding’ to the headtube, it looks as though its affecting the roundness of the internal diameter other than the obvious impact point.

Should I attempt to fit the internal headset cup or send the frame straight back ?

Thanks

Fek me. That’s not good. Straight back to the supplier pronto!

I doubt you’d get a headset in, that’s a fairly big clout that’s caused that!

Aye, punt that back.

Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back on a frame i bought, contacted the shop explained what had happened they said send it back – replacement was with me within 3 days. Send it back.

Please do not ride the bike with any such dints or dents for that matter, as this could lead to early fatigue of the frame which could potentially cause a serious accident! Always be aware! ❗

Thanks !

Have reboxed and will contact the shop tomorrow.

Another wait ! :0(

I’ve just had a similar dilemma, well it wasn’t much of a dilemma in the end as the frame I had (Ragley Troof) had a crease in the downtube. Sent it back today. You should definitely do the same.
