Piece cracked off supersix where cable end goes into
Yikes !
I'm pretty upset. I was going over my brake system because I was getting binding somewhere and I discovered this
the edge of the lip came off. No cracks to the frame itself. Shop said I shouldnt worry about it. Its an eye sore though

Be careful when you put it in your rack. Luckily, it doesn't look too bad though. Took me a little bit to figure out exactly what you were talking about.

Keep a eye on it. You should find some paint that matches just to keep UV off of it. I would be sick..... I almost got a Super Six till my husband had a cow when I told him the price for a new one.

I figured it wasnt a big deal. I'm still pretty upset actually because I dont know what caused it.
I dont have a trunk rack. It it gets transported it's on a roof rack so that section never touches.

Otherwise file down the edges carefully with a small, fine, flat file, and finish it with matching nail polish. I suggest filing it because you will snag it on something eventually, and it's not structural.
The fact you carry an expensive bike on a roof rack leaves it open to all sorts of damage from debris thrown up by other vehicles. Our bikes never travel outside the vehicle -- and in fact, we bought the vehicle with carrying bikes inside as one of our criteria.
