I have a used carbon aethos pro I purchased and noticed it has a scuff right at the rear dropout. Should I be concerned about this? The bike isn’t painted because it is supposed to be very light, so you can see the carbon seams through it the frame. I have never had to repair carbon, so I wasn’t sure what warrants repair or evaluation or if I am worrying over nothing. Thank you for your thoughts!

What in the picture are you concerned about? I’m not seeing anything
Bin it. Actually I’ll come take it off your hands and save you the trouble of throwing it out.
Zero concern
That’s fine. I imagine the carbon is quite thick there – fastening point and the dropouts are a critical area in general
No concern.
If you’re concerned about this I think owning a carbon bike is going to give you anxiety.
Nah-just ride more carefully
Probably just from leaning it on walls, it’s just a bit of paint scuffing…
