Hi, I have a Canyon Aeroad carbon road bike and noticed some thin white marks near the bottom bracket / chainstay-seat tube area.

Does this look like cosmetic paint or clear coat damage, or could it be a possible carbon crack?

There have been no crashes or impacts. The marks look mostly white and surface-level to me. I know photos can’t confirm structural damage, but I’d appreciate opinions from other Canyon/Aeroad owners.

Would you ride this, monitor it, contact Canyon, or take it to a carbon repair specialist?

Also, has anyone had a similar issue with a Canyon carbon frame and gone through a warranty claim? I’d be interested to hear how Canyon handled it and whether this kind of damage was considered cosmetic or structural.

Thanks!
