Just after some speculation/ideas of causes really. I was giving my bike a wipe down this afternoon and thought I had left bristles or hairs on the headtube, but in fact it was crazed paint! Any ideas?

Quick guess - the paint guys will know better: clear coat is expanding / contracting at a different rate and it’s pulling / pushing the coat below around.

does it get exposed to UV in any way on a daily basis?

Cracked paint. Got it all over the stays on my Aende lo-pro and linear cracks at the seat tube lug area. No idea how it happens but most likely nothing to worry about

I've got this on the DT logo of my Look 464. It just happened over time.

I mean it's been riden quite a lot the last couple of weeks, so yes.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
