Carbon bike frame advice.

[Les84]

Ok so I had a knock off in the bike Monday and this is is the damage to the rear of the bike. Is this just the painted surface damage or worse, I don’t have enough knowledge of the material etc to know.

Thanks

That was my gut feeling but I am unsure hence my post.

It looks only minor I agree, I was just weary of the carbon frame and all this info of getting X-rays/scans after a drop/knock etc and cracks damage that cannot be seen.

Thanks for the recommendation, they are about 1 1/2 hours from me but will keep them in mind if I need to get a repair doing and they don’t require the bike stripping which is handy.

Have you used their services?

I wouldn't let that damage worry me.

I am getting my LBS to go over it on Sunday for a check up, I will bring this to their attention and see what they say. I think the pedal landed first and would have taken the shock away and then that made the rear come in contact but I’m not 100%

This section of the bike has to be super strong any way if I am correct.

No but I know the owners and I've seen their work - it's good (one of them used to work for one off the F1 teams so knows CF)

I've given them a "follow" on instagram. I'm in the process of a making a claim after a collision and while I'm looking at buying a new (gravel) bike, I may well look into a repair for my damaged road bike, for a bit of surreptitious N+1 action. My LBS has details of another company for me, so I'll have to do a bit of research on the matter.

I don’t even know where to start with mine if I need to report my knock off or where to go with it. I suffered next to no injury’s just a couple bruises, and the damage to the bike which is minimal (from the naked eye). My equipment was not damaged nor clothing as it was quite a slow side swipe.
