Fragile Carbon
So.
Got my new frame to replace a cracked fork steerer a approx three months back. Front changing not been working to well and finally got around to taking a proper look and giving the thing a proper clean. So paint or crack? Safe or not.

And per WeightWeenies white paint is generally thicker to get better colour.
I'm with the others that think the tube is flexing causing the paint to crack.
I doubt I would be so calm about it but mind you I'll argue over 50p given the chance!

Yes interesting about it being white paint as mine was white in that area as well!
