Zona Zip Warranty?

Recommended Posts

Hello people, does anyone know anything on the warranty of Zona. i was replacing my rear pads and the threads in the brake mounts felt stiff and then all of a sudden started to go easy. TOO EASY. Would zona replace my frame if they in the future do go. (I dont think they have stripped at the moment because they tightened up fine after that).

The problem is, i cant find any website that specialise in zona bikes other than supercycles who just deal them.

And the onza site dont seem to mension zona either.

some lads up at redcar were talking about hellicoiling when the threads in a t pro frame went.

Is it where you fill it with weld and redrill it.

Lol, no.

I'm not entirely sure but you basically drill the mount to a larger size (m5.5 ?) And screw in a steel (?) Insert into the mounts which is apparently stronger..

Cheers.

I was just messing around in my brothers bedroom on the bike and evrything seems fine. I was probably just paranoid. But never the less, usefull information for the future.

And i think i'm going to build a czar mod bike for the summer anyway.

Thank's people.

if it does go re tap the mounts a slightly bit bigger and put a bigger bolt in insted

I wouldn't, if you take it out to M6 it can be a pain in the arse in future. You've got to file the mounts out and if you run a booster, you've got to somehow get bigger spacers and file the booster out.

It can be done, but helicoiling works better if you ask me.

It's not worth it, they offer a half price replacement on broken frames that have been damaged due to a manufacturing failure, not due to be assembling badly.

Just get it helicoiled if it goes.

When jonny rang up about his cracked zenith they told him they don't do half price replacements on zona stuff as its a different brand. The hedgehog logo was put on accidentally too :lol:

But yeah, helicoiling would be the most professional way to fix it. Its far cheaper than a half price replacement anyway and once its done the threads should be stronger than they were when the frame was new due to the steel insert you put in.
