Will Fairburn Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Right, I have abdabs old frame and when he sold it to ''ilukee'' he must of cracked it because you can see where he has messed up a sidehops and (sides right) the chain has eaten the frame, and caused it to crack.When ''ilukee'' was selling it he said no cracks or dints, there are no dints but clearly there wasa crack, i sidehop to the left so i couldnt of done the crack, and i noticed after getting the bike fully working today did my first gap to a curb got a bite took wheel out and spotted the crack right on the weld and the crack starts where the chan has been eating the frame.What can I do?, as this frame is only aound 6-7 months old there is a 1 year gurantee on deng frames but how will this b sorted as the frame is going to be weak now.Surely if i sent this frame back to abdab he could get a free replacement frame for through the guarantee?Opinions please?Cheers, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 if its under guarantee then send it back but if its not .drill a 2 mill hole were the crack starts and then one were it finishes , wich will stop it from cranking more and then get it re weleded by a enginerring firm hope this helps .

monkeymoped Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 :wizard: :wizard: phone the fella and ask him why the crack was never mentioned (he may not have noticed it himself) and if it still under guarantee send it back providing you can get original reciepts/guarantee documents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Ring phill and tell him its cracked and how old it is and could he send it back and get a replacement, if he says you bought it 2nd hand so you cant then get abdabs to ring up and then you send the frame to select from your house theres no need to send it to abdabs house first. But more than likely phill will see this topic anyway so you couldnt do that. I should think though that he will be able to get it replaced for you.
