Trek Scratch crack. Just riding along, I swear...

[bikesarefun]

Heard a noise, thought I'd snapped my chain.... closer inspection revealed something much nastier!

I've been running this bike pretty hard over the past 6 months I suppose.



Don't think I'm eligible for warranty unfortunately :neglected:

Jha (just hucking along)

Why arent you eligble for warranty is the bike an older model or second hand?

 

[dunndog]

"phat snaps', ah the irony.. bummer man, I'm waiting for a warranty fix on my session 88, snappies also..

That's the beauty of Trek's lifetime warranty.... I don't see why anyone would buy a second hand Trek, the warranty is worth coughing up for a new one.

Yeah - bought it off a buddy. At least it's only a swingarm!

Look again.. Treks' lifetime warranty does not include scratch, session 8 and session 88... 3 years. And interestingly, only 2 years on the carbon 9.9...

you'll b right just fire up the tig welder!:very_drunk:

Its just a scratch ....... *insert comical drum roll*

 

[ChopSticks]

Don't worry mate!

Looks like it will buff out with abit of elbow grease

 

[peachy]

i was wondering how long it would take for someone to say "it'll buff out"

that's a pity about the snappage, can you buy a new swingarm or will u need to replace it completely?

 

[Sic]

Arent Treks a bit notorious for snapping there? Dont know where you are located but if you're in Melbourne ill bet Grip can fix it.

lol noice one

Should have used Grip for the repair.

Dropped it in at my LBS (well, the local Trek dealer), asked them to order a replacement part. Six weeks later they still hadn't placed an order.

 

[Art Vanderlay]

Probably glad you found that before your next ride....

 

[bikesarefun]

Picked it up today. LBS has redeemed itself. Had the bike ready to ride when I got there, and they had done some good work free of charge. Not sure if they saw this thread, but I don't care - there will be beers delivered to them tomorrow...
