Here are some things to look for in bicycle frame damage:
✅ Cracks: Any cracks, no matter how small, can indicate serious damage to the frame.
✅ Bends: Any bends in the frame can also be a sign of damage.
✅ Gouges: Deep gouges in the frame can weaken the structure and make it more susceptible to cracking.
✅ Delamination: Delamination is the separation of carbon fiber layers in a carbon fiber frame. This can be caused by a hard impact or by over-tightening the frame.
✅ Looseness: Any looseness in the frame can indicate damage to the joints or welds.
✅ Squeaks: Squeaks or creaks can be a sign of wear and tear on the frame or of damage to the bearings.
If you find any of these signs of damage, it is important to have the frame inspected by a qualified mechanic. Even if the damage is not serious, it is better to be safe than sorry. Riding a damaged frame can be dangerous, leading to further damage or even a crash.
Here are some tips for inspecting your bicycle frame for damage:
✅ Look for cracks, bends, gouges, delamination, and looseness.
✅ Pay special attention to the head tube, bottom bracket, and seat tube. These are the areas that are most likely to be damaged in a crash.
✅ Use a flashlight to inspect the frame for damage that is not visible to the naked eye.
✅ If you find any damage, have the frame inspected by a qualified mechanic.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your bicycle frame is in good condition and safe to ride.

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”
