Cassette damage on Carbon Chain Stay

[Colin S]

I have just put a different rear wheel in my bike and unfortunately the 11 cog was catching the inside of the chain stay slightly. It has cut through the lacquer and marked the carbon. There is a little bit of a ridge where it has rubbed.

I assume the carbon will be fairly thick at this point so am hopeful that it will not be too compromised.

Any thoughts?

I would say nothing to worry about at all.

Put a sticker over it and forget it.

Put helicopter tape over it and protect it.

Scratched the top tube of my bike the other week.I ordered a grey vinyl sample for 99p of fleabay and hey presto...sorted.

A felt tip pen will suffice on a small area of black paint.

I should try some nail varnish . Black? Rub down the ridge with fine emery.

I wouldn't worry about it, and I wouldn't bother trying to disguise it either, given how tucked away it is. It isn't exactly an eyesore!

I can't quite figure out why this particular 11-tooth sprocket should cause the problem. I would have thought that an 11 was less likely to rub then (say) a 12 or a 13?

My Fault
It wasn't an 11 it was in fact a 12 and I hadn't got the cassette on properly and couldn't tell what the noise was. Thankfully I found it before it did more damage.

Ah, that explains it. Thankfully, it hasn't wrecked your frame!

Unless, of course, it is N+1 time...
