Hello!

I was just greasing the headset bearings on my relatively new (18 months) Condor and noticed a splinter on the steerer tube.

I appreciate it's difficult to make a full assessment from a photograph, but is this something any of you have dealt with before? Is it a written-off fork or can it be repaired by experts (or by me with clear lacquer) to prevent propagation?

Cutting it out would be a solution, but the fit on this bike is spot on!

Ta!
Ben
