Rouxenator Posted August 19, 2013 Share Not sure how it happened, but I have yet another cracked frame. Its only been 6 months since I got the frame after my previous frame cracked (after a year). The biks shop says it is on a welding spot so there is no doubt that it will be replaced under warranty but now I'm left without a MTB for about two weeks :-( Edited May 21, 2014 by Rouxenator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouxenator Posted August 19, 2013 Share First frame that cracked after a year was a 2012 GT Karakoram. Current frame that cracked is a 2013 Zaskar Le 9R Pro. Actually very tempted to just buy a pick'n'pay special as backup now. Edited August 19, 2013 by Rouxenator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owbout some pics of the cracks so we the hub collective can decide if its abuse abuse or just normal normal abuse nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouxenator Posted August 19, 2013 Share Its at the bike shop, did not know about the crack until they told me the freebody sounds a bit dodgy and if I would like to have it checked out. I thought what the heck, while it is there to get serviced they might as well check out anything that is not 100%. So they called me a while later and said it cracked on one of the welds where the hanger connects to the frame. Apparently it is a manufacturing fault so they have to do a warranty claim. My choice of backup MTB at the moment is either a 2008 Silverback Oakland size XS or a 2009 Silverback Reno Femme size M... If they do not finish my bike by the first of September then I'll have to ride like a lady or a midget. jaco369 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
