Hello fellow cyclists,


I have had a crash recently and there's a minor dent at the top tube. The manufacturer (Canyon) is telling me it'll take them 8 weeks to make an appointment for me to replace the frame.

I want to ask your opinion on whether do you think it would be dangerous to ride with this dent; I usually do hilly rides with a top speed of around 60kph.
Note that it is an aluminum frame and there are no cracks near. The bike is canyon endurace al 7.
