Hellow i was cleaning my mtb and i discovered this scary thing.It is in the mount of the shock to the seat tube.Looks like a crack.I inspected the inside of the seattube with a light but it looked ok.The frame is aluminium 10+years old.Is this repairable or it time for replace?

alu needs heat treating after a repair. that said it could just be the lacquer. use a tiny amount of paint stripper to remove the paint in that area. dont scrape the paint away with anything metal. if there is a crack, it;ll be a lot more visible once the paint is removed.
