Cracked Carbon frame

He we have a stunning carbon frame that has been damaged. How has this happened I hear you say.
This has been caused by carrying it on the roof of the car  using a bike rack that clamps to the down tube. The problem with this type of carrier is the frame will always move in the clamp. The constant movement (RUBBING) will wear through the frame in no time.(If you tighten the clamp to hard you run the rise of crushing the frame).
That is why we don't sell them. If you want to carry your bike on the roof purchase a carrier where you remove the front wheel, the forks then clamp into the carrier so nothing touches the frame. You can purchase a spare carrier for the front wheel.
BE WARNED BIKE MOST COMPANY'S WILL NOT COVER THIS DAMAGE UNDER WARRANTY.



Type that clamps to frame (Not good)










Type the clamps to front fork (No damage to frame)
