This is the next step,to give you pictures of the bike,as soon as i find
a camera.Mine unfortunately is broken so please be patient.

Thank you for your response wheelsONfire.The dust cap is seated properly
where it should.I can feel the play when i brake hard with the front brake so
i spot it in the upper headset bearing.I guess i'll send an email to AX.

Hello,

What do you think about this pictures ?

Thanks for your answers

Hello,

Definitely a impact of some sort. Whether is was some major chain slap or a piece of debris, that doesn't just "happen" by itself. Sucks, I know, but it is not a case of frame failure.

The line seems to "clean" to not think about an impact; perhaps when storing it or moving inside/out of the car?
On the good side is that it seems in the middle section of the seat stays, so it should be easily fixable.

I had a chain slap but it is no way near that damage you have.

You know, it looks like your lower pulley wheel has been slammed against the chainstay?

I would send this picture to Ax Lightness. Your frame can be repaired!

could be from debris on the road. i've hit a few things that flip up and hit my frame....with no damage. could be from that.

By the way, is that paint retro-reflective? or just silver?

Just silver, normal paint.

No transport in a car.

"You know, it looks like your lower pulley wheel has been slammed against the chainstay?" >> No possible, 2cm too far

"could be from debris on the road. i've hit a few things that flip up and hit my frame....with no damage. could be from that." >> the hole is too big or long for this kind of damage


I'll send pictures to Ax to see what they can do...

Thanks

Other than the frame looks identical to this http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=122234&p=1040155#p1040155. Which turned out to be a derailleur swinging up and smacking the frame.

It looks like your derailleur smacked the bottom of your chainstay while riding but you have Di2 so I don't understand why.

Looks like egg shell fragile.

Be interesting to see how long the repair will take if you send it back to AX.....maybe quicker to get a local carbon repair to fix it with the approval of AX .

When you're talking about super lightweight carbon fragile is to be expected. I would only have AX fix this, they know their carbon.

Good luck. Rumors here at Eurobike is that AX has closed because of financial reasons...
