:shock: :cry: :facepalm:

Oh bugger.....

.....long story to how it happened...absolutely gutted is an understatement!

But...is it a problem? or should I just fill it and don't worry?

Its about 1.5mm deep. On the top tube, pretty central.

Cant see it being a problem really.

Steel is pretty strong, id trust this on alu so you should be ok.

One of those bullet hole stickers round it might do the trick :D

haha..I like the sound of that...could be fun.

You've cheered me up!! ;)
 
Looks like it's gone right through the metal :? If there's a hole I'd defo get it at least looked at before using again. bad times btw :(

Definitely hasn't gone through.... :?
 
Fill it with touch up paint, let it harden for around 4 days and then flat it back with t-cut. You will still see it but it will look like any other touched up stone chip. Touch up the other stone chips at the same time and after a few weeks you will have forgotten there is a dent there.
