IRO flex?
I wash washing bikes today, and while washing my IRO Jamie Roy I noticed a spot on the inside of the chainstay where the paint had been rubbed away. If the tire was in there *that* crooked I would definitely notice. Is this a result of the chainstay flexing? It doesn't *feel* flexy, but I'm mystified as to how else this could have happened. And if it's flex, wouldn't it happen on both sides? I'm running 23s so I have plenty of tire clearance...
Baffled.
