Just saw this when I was cleaning my bearings on my Saracen Myst cx. Rear triangle, the big bearings, near the bottom bracket.

That’s a crack my dude
Crack for sure
I ain’t no expert but I think that might be cracked
That’s definitely cracked.
Issa crack
Likely a crack – but if I were you, I’d carefully buff/chip away paint to the base material to see if there’s an indication and it’s nit just coating damage
That’s cracked. It’s also solid carbon in that area, so I’d still trail ride it. I wouldn’t be taking it to an enduro race though. You can replace that rear triangle though
Stress crack
Definitely a crack but I’d grind the paint off to see if it’s in the paint. You never know you could get lucky
Cracked bro
Sure looks like a crack to me from here…
Hopefully just a paint crack, and sadly in a tough spot for the tap test to be reliable. Can you buy just a rear triangle? Usually dealers can buy them through their B2B sites.
It looks like it took an impact. Therefore it could be the paint but it’s not looking good. Most likely a crack.
Big fat crack
