Tiny dent in my Ti

[FrankCrank]

Leave the bike out in the rain and the frame will just dissolve away.
Oh no, silly me, that's carbon fibre innit.

I can’t even get it to show in photos so I’m going to forget about it. Maybe after years of polishing it will blend in. Could be worse.

If the dent was made with a biro, it will be very hard to see in photos. And passers by won't notice it, so I reckon you're good to go.

Definitely a "micro-dent" to quote you.

Forget & ride...

Nic Vieri of Backyard Bike Shop in Gateshead (a frequent contributor to his friends' Cade Media YouTube channel) recently posted on his channel the build of his own Reilly Gradient. I commented that it was nice, I knew a few Gradient owners, know I'd like it but was very happy with my Tripster ATR. His reply: "My first proper gravel bike was a tipster [sic]. Amazing bit of kit

It’s had three owner since, and is still going strong. Even after a car reversed over it

". Now, that's a dent…

I’ve seen a micro dent in my left stay. Nobody will notice it but I know it’s there. A tool prob give it a little tap. Is there anyway I can suck it out? Maybe some strong polish may blend it in. It’s no big deal to most but I like perfection. I’m trying to think of some tricks metal workers might use, any ideas?

@screenman is a car dent expert but if you can get it to show in a photo then I would be tempted to ignore it.

Bikes are working machines. Over time they will collect little nicks and scratches which turn them into your individual bike. Don't get too precious about it. Enjoy the bike for what it is.
