I'm such a dumb azz. I did a 30 mile tempo ride with the back tire not properly seated. Put two nasty tire rubs clear through the paint to the carbon!! (on the bottom bracket area between the stays.) On my brand new frame! Is the frame ruined? Are there any issues with the intergity of the frame now? |

I'd have it looked at by someone who knows what they're doing. Chances are that you rubbed off the clearcoat. Even if it is jacked you can either get it fixed via a warranty that you may have with the frame or give Calfee a call - they're wizards with carbon. http://www.calfeedesign.com/howtosendrepair.htm Calfee's the company that LeMond used to custom make his frames in the late 80's and early 90's - they have a few years of experience when it comes to carbon and bicycle frames. Most of their frames come with a 25 year warranty. |

Potentially, it looks like a tire can rub through a steel frame:http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=553772 |

BUT I doubt it would be any kind of warranty. It really isn't a defect in materials or manufacturing. Take some good pix and send them to Calfee. |

Surely you can feel a tyre rubbing on the frame? Similar to a brake pad rubbing on the rim. Neither are acceptable and should be noticed and fixed in the first 100 meters of riding. Rubbing through a frame will build up your muscles and when fixed you will feel a new surge of speed and efficiency! |
