edit: so instead of bees swarming u like when going up cypress, there are massive HORSE FLIES... and i think one bit my thigh because when i got back down from the top, i stopped at the gas station jokin with my buddy about the dead bug splatter on my thigh.
i get home, and theres a tiny round bruise, and i was able to squeeze blood out of the bruise... one of those flies took a bite outta my leg lol

i forget if anyone here rides with carbon wheels, but i have an in for a cheap-ish set and i have some questions. what's this i hear about 'squealing' noises during braking? is that normal or all carbon rims?

Staying at the Whistler Cascade Lodge... yep, it's going to be an expensive weekend to book, especially now as it's coming closer to event date.
Hope you don't have to ride back the same day! Although possible, but a shame to miss all the post-ride activities.
I recently purchased a bike frame from a shop in the UK ( I am there right now ). It used to be a demo frame. I looked at it in store and it seemed fine. Once I got home, I noticed a large crack on the chain stay tube.
The shop contacted BMC with pictures, and they said that it is a paint crack rather than a crack in the carbon.
I have the option of returning it and getting a different frame but I really do like this frame.
Just wanted your guys take on this. Should I take the risk?

My take, I'd return it. How can BMC state it's 'just' a crack in the paint through photos. I would return it and get another frame, don't think I'd like to chance it. If you kept the frame, and it does blow apart when you ride it, what recourse will you have then? They can say, 'we gave you a choice' already. Be on the safe side. My 2 cents.

i think its because if he goes with replacement he isnt getting the same frame. it'll be different model and he really likes his current model.
that being said, id still would risk it. you'll be out of options other than buying a new frame if this one craps out. and how does one figure the damage by just pictures.
