I have had the same issue ripped pant off mine from putting tape on topetube with gels. Seems to be a flaw.

i am having a chipping issue as well.

Like this ?

Exactly the same. Have you addressed yet with your LBS or BMC?

No it's not my bike.

I could just remember that I had seen it earlier on this forum. Here -> http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...um.cgi?post=4138309;

My TT bike
BMC TM01

I picked up this same model bike yesterday and immediately noticed that you can't turn the handlebars very far. Design flaw for sure. Not a terrible one considering how great the rest of the bike is. Should we be worried about it more than just chipping paint?

I've never had a problem with this when actually riding. Even on a sharp, hairpin turn on my usual route I come nowhere near the turn limit. It is only, say, when I get off the bike and try to wheel it around (like in the garage or on the sidewalk) that it's an issue. Really no bike deal.

You might want to correct your Subject line to TM02, not TM01. Thanks.

Exact same thing is happening to my TM02 as well. Did BMC end up replacing the bike or fixing their design flaw?

They added little rubber nubs on the fork starting in 2013 or 2014.
