Can definitely see how it would continue to chip. I might take the damage discount credit, ride it, and if it gets worse I can still warranty the fork. Tried the coin thing and about a 2mm area...

Thanks! I don't think it's a vanity thing because I know it's going to get scratched and dinged. A fact of life. It was more about whether the fork was safe to ride, and I didn't anticipate having...

I can see your point, although I'm not all that worried about resale value. REI mechanic said the same thing about the mounts chipping just from use. Unfortunate that this particular mount has had...

Just bought some 700x42 Teravail Cannonballs, which are on sale at REI for $50. Switching from Teravail Washburns and looking forward to ditching the center slick for a bit more confidence.

Why's that? I mean, it would be a great option if they had a bike in stock with the same groupset, but at this point if I return I'm gonna have to be back on the hunt for a new bike at least a few...

Update: Got a call back from REI after they heard from Salsa. The mechanic and the Salsa rep are pretty certain it's safe to ride and REI has offered three different options, just not sure which one...

Not that was stated to me. The options were exchange for another bike or leave the current bike so they could handle the warranty process.

Okay, went back to REI. They were extremely patient and understanding, stating that they understand my hesitancy to ride it with the carbon chipping. They offered to A) do a full exchange for a...

Planning on this, but it probably will have to be a warranty replacement of the fork because they no longer have this bike in stock at all.

Okay, thanks for the replies. Definitely won't be putting any epoxy on it. But I might put some tape on it for now. And I will probably go back to REI and ask for them to warranty it. Going out of...
