On the weekend as I was cleaning my bike I noticed some really bad cable rub on the seat stay on my alu Trek.
I look after my bike fairly well but this must have just passed me by and now it has rubbed a channel (probably 1.5-2cm long and 1-2mm deep) in the seat stay. There was a frame protector on the spot but it has rubbed straight through it.
I can only think it must have happened with a fairly short time span as a I do tend to check my bike out fairly regularly.
My questions are - is this a complete disaster? Not sure if that will significantly weaken the frame or not.
If there was an issue what would this mean for a warranty claim?
