  • I have a Giant 980C and have some bubbling of the clear coat around a couple of the lug attach points. I came across this thread using Google for any information about the issue. I can't find any product recall for this bike, so I'm not going to worry about a safety issue. Note that there have been recalls for 2009 Giant bikes with fork problems, so I know Giant is aware of recall procedures.

    Steve, I don't think the bubbling is an issue, it's when you start seeing cracks is when it all goes wrong, You would probably get mixed opinions if you took it to bike shops but as far as I'm aware the american lugged carbon frames where over engineered (my Trek has an aluminium fork with a steel steerer for a start). Fire off an email to Giant and see if that bears any fruit.
