Hi all
A friend of mine bought a CAAD5 frameset. After having ridden it for a couple of days he noted that there is some loose piece of metal in the downtube rattling
We assume that the previous owner had a stuck bottle cafe screw drilled through and some leftovers fell into the DT
there is no connection from the DT to the BB, but a small hole connecting the DT to the HT,
However, when you shake/turn the frame, the metal piece does not appear at the HT-hole
Does anyone has a workaround of how to solve this?
Drill a hole from the bb shell to the DT?
Thanks so much
