My Scott CR1 has a slight problem in that the Record rear mech collided with a Campag Shamal spoke and damaged both.
Cue a new rear mech and a spoke BUT a LBS insisted that the carbon frame is also bent and they won't put it in a jig to straighten it.
How can a Carbon stay bend?
Stress any material beyond its elastic limit (yield strength) and it
will deform and stay deformed. You can't bend it straight again..
