Riding to work Wednesday, grabbed a handful of brake & the rear cable stop popped off... :shock: Is this gonna be a new frame (looks like the offending cable stop was bonded to the top tube) or does anyone reckon this will be ok if bonded back on? Anyone else had this problem? The bike is a 1 year old Pinnacle Aeos Carbon 3, SRAM Rival bits on bought from Evans with help from the Bike for Work scheme. I was lucky I wasn't on a decent descent & had time to gather it altogether, could have been really messy... Gonna be an interesting conversation when I take it back to the shop tomorrow...

    Wow, not cool. Knowign Evans they'll probably crack out the Pritt Stick then send you on your way.

    Frame replacement i should hope.

    Holy moly. I bet that made the old sphincter relax a bit! New frame time - how would you ever be able to trust it if they just repaired it?
