A tiny"burr" inside the seat tube of a recently purchased steel bike has caused the carbon fiber seatpost to become scratched and delaminated. The seatpost was creaking and ticking a bit when I first rode the bike and these noises increased in volume and frequency quite rapidly before I inspected.
I replaced the seatpost with an aluminium one after having the burr removed.
- Could this have been dangerous? I know nothing about carbon fiber.
- Am I within my rights to ask the company to pay for the new searpost?
