Chainstay Crack
Washing my 2019 Thunderbolt C70 post ride today and noticed what looks like a crack next to the derailleur hanger on top of the stay. Are my fears of a crack real or is this nothing?

They could be real. I would go on another ride and check if it gets worse. Or go to a bike shop and have them look at it. Could be warrantied

Hey mate, LBS inspected it, took photos and gave me the all clear to keep sending it as hard as i like. They think its just paint. Im lucky i have full warranty on it so if anything happens it will be covered.
I think i ride it pretty hard and im no lightweight, though i think i will have to change out the Stans Crests soon cause they are too light. Its a cool bike and heaps of fun to ride, bike park to full day adventures.
