Hi peeps

I have owned my process 153 dl for about 1.5 years now, have mostly been using it for trail riding in the local woods. I have used it quite regualry although I havent been jibbing it or hucking it, I got a big rig for those!

Anyways was cleaning the old girl the other night and noticed the below marks on the carbon arch linking the shock to the back end. There is no rise to the carbon and no mark on the underside, to my knowledge it hasnt had a massive rock strike (like I say I mostly ride in woods). Also I have been riding forever and know how to set it up with the correct sag etc so its not that, neither can I ever remember sending or casing a massive jump / drop on it

Anyways I sent a pic to the LBS it came from for their view but was wondering if anyone has had anything similar? Or knows of any issues with the rear arch?

Lifetime warranty on Konas, I wouldn't worry they're pretty good.

Just out of curiosity did this get resolved? Was it a crack or scratch? I have a similar looking one on my process

As a sidenote I'm racing at afan next weekend, if I were to message about warranty before next weekend then races and something happend to the bike, where would I stand with getting it fixed? Would I be buggered as I rode it knowing it could be broke or would it not matter as it would only be a little more broke?!
