Just got back from a weekend in France and noticed the straps from our bike rack have rubbed a flat spot on my SystemSix downtube.
As it’s a nude frame I would just rub down the clear coat to remove the light scratches, but I’m worried that the fact it’s flattened it means it could be structural? Would the clearcoat be thick enough that it’s just that which has flattened?
The photos aren’t great but inspecting it properly to take them it does look like it’s damaged the carbon. Is there a bike shop in London who can give me a definitive answer or do I need to take it to one of the two carbon specialists in this thread
