In my experience, this is a general thing with Chinese retailers, not limited to Workswell. They seem to think that saying "don't worry" will reassure the customer. What they don't realize is that for the customer to believe in it requires a certain degree of trust, which they in most cases have not earned.

Hi
After contact with Workswell, I talk with the guy who repair carbon frames and he told me that it was not a good idea to repair, because the problem could be bigger than looked and could have some defects ..
The Chinese told me to don't worry but it's not he riding that bike!!   

I decided to buy a used "second" Brand frame (cheap, near to the china price), now I removed the paint and make it UD matte
The new frame are 90% compatible to my stuff, only I need to change the crankset (downgrade, now I have Sram xx1 BB30), I will put one Shimano xt M8000 with TA Specialites One 96 chainring.
End of story with Workswell WCB-M-062

I hope to have more lucky at this time

It's possible that its the top "cosmetic" layer that cracked. You can try taking a coin and tap along the tube thats cracked and see if the sound changes. The cracked portion of the frame should have a more dull sound than the area around it that's not cracked.

Yeah, agree, that's not a crack. That's the top layer of carbon and they didn't take the time to sand it down to smooth before applying the finish.

Unless it just formed from riding and didn't come like that.

RS VR6 The sound is the same on the crack and on the near area ...
It's more open after the day that I found.

adroitrider When I receive the frame he are perfect without any marks or scratches, I found this crack on last months

It's a China frame without quality control, it's possible this part of the frame receive less carbon and it's more fragile ...
If this happens with a brand frame, the brand change the frame at the moment, it's a quality problem ..

Not sure if it's uncool for me to post here. But I'm thinking about doing something crazy by building an all mountain ebike with the works well m-178 frame. I didn't read through the whole thread. It seems, in general, works well is know to have quality issues? What do you guys think about building a m-178?

[carbonazza]

Lot of happy people, and a few unhappy, as usual.
Their frames are well made.
However if there is a trouble, Workswell doesn't seem to provide good if any after sale service.
But don't be shy, many here have been first at something

Hello
At monday when I wash my bike, I found that cracked on the top tube!
Game over 

That's not what cracked carbon looks like. That's where the two sides of the mould come together. These guys just didn't sand it down as nice as they should have before painting it.
