J Trials 31 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hey, I know there has been a ton of thread's on here about them. Mine snapped on the ring that goes around. Anyway I can get a free replacement or anything? Would it be worth contacting the place where I bought it originally? I can put up pics if necessary, but they are blurry.

J Trials 31 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Naw, no king for me. And pro 2 isn't gonna work cause I ride a mod. I'm looking to get something as cheap as possible. Sent an email to the place I bought it from, but haven't got a reply back yet. Hoping maybe I can get a replacement or something. Just noticed, mine cracked the same way Moggles did. I just couldn't find the ring that snapped off when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) if the cranks snapped then more then you will be able to get half price replacement unless you can prove its a manufacturing default in which you would get a free replacement.my king lasted a weekthere must of been something f**ked up about it, as technically the harder you kick the less chance of a skip. did you buy it new? if so did you pull it apart and change the lube, as they come with a thicker lube more suited to xc and other disciplines not trials. but on the other hand when they skip they can skip a half turn.

And no, the cranks didn't snap. Just the drive ring, same as Moggles if you check his thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Balls Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 i think they got scared of the word microscope...they'd only know cos i'd have to cut it up I suppose..aaanyways..i could end up being a bike companies nightmare and just argue manufacturing faults here and there..hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 The guy got back with me and said that he thinks that there is a 1 year warranty, but he said he'll see what he can do. I think I might be in that time frame though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
