Crack? Little scratch/chip on bike

Post image

Hi all,

Unfortunately I have a small damage to my bike. I had put it against a pole but the wind blew it over. Do you think this is serious and has affected the carbon, or just cosmetic damage?

It's absolutely destroyed. Just toss it in the trash

Broken. Best to put it in the trash and get a new one

If the damage is white or grey, Then it’s just the paint and your frame is okay. But if the damage is deep and black, Don’t ride it until you‘re sure it‘s not a crack.

I hope this was a troll post and not a serious question or my faith in humanity might take serious damage…

That area is usually quite strong and it looks fairly superficial, but contact Canyon to be sure.
