Hi folks,
Have had this Kuota Kougar carbon frame for over a 5 years, just tipped it over after a ride by accident and found damage on the left seat stay.
There’s a rough patch with exposed material, and when I tap it, the sound is dull compared to the sharper sound just behind it. I’m worried this might be structural and not just cosmetic.
Would appreciate any inputs, rideable, repairable?

Is it a steel, aluminum, etc. frame?
I would not ride that until it’s been professionally assessed and (probably) repaired.
Do the coin test. I wouldn’t hesitate for you to ride that.
