Folks,

Wiping down my 1986 Schwinn Cimarron today after a modest 70 mile loaded tour I noticed this:



Another clue: I've owed the bike since spring and sprayed Fluid Film inside. I began to notice the Fluid Film leaking and collecting at this spot. Along with this visible line, I'm pretty sure this must be a crack.

I don't notice any change in the performance yet. Any advice? Should I stop riding this bike? Ride with careful monitoring?

What's the likelihood of a viable repair?

Thanks,
Oliver H.
