Dent in seat stay

[Daniel Chapman]

Hi all,

So I've just noticed a dent in the seat stay of my Cube Hybrid Pro and was wondering what your thoughts are on if it's safe to ride or not. The strange thing I have no idea where it's come from which surprises me given the size of the dent, but we are where we are I suppose.

If I do need to get a new bike does anyone have any suggestions on Bosch performance CX powered bike with a steel frame? It turns out you can't just buy a replacement frame, you have to buy the whole setup!

Cant tell from the photo, but could this not be just a feature to allow the rear wheel to be removed without the disc fouling the frame? The paint does not seem to be damaged this also made me think it might just be a feature of the frame how would you get damage on that spot if the wheel is in the way.

So... as embarrassed as I am to say it, I think you're right. I just looked at a promo video online and there's a very familiar dent on there .

Thank you for your logical thinking, I don't know how I haven't stumbled on the dent until now, bit I'm glad you posted .

Thanks again
