Acerbis cracks
Hi,
I recently got given a free Acerbis tank for my XT through the HUBB. It was very generously sent to me without even asking for postage.
I've been riding around for a month or so with it and been very pleased until tonight when I spotted a network of cracks on one side of the tank.
The tank is a few years old and seen a bit of action but I inspected it thoroughly when it arrived and it looked to be in good condition. We've had a cold spell recently and I was wondering if this could have caused old impact damage to become visible? I can't think of anything else. Any thoughts/experiences welome on the subject.
The tank is quite patently knackered so I'm not looking for repair tips. I'm just curious as I thought these things were virtually indestructible. I'm also curious as I'm now taken with the whole big tank thing and thinking splashing out on a new one might be worth it.
Matt
