Fishwog Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 What the f**k?!?! It has clean snapped AT A WELD, and cracked quite badly in four months. If the b*****d frame lasted me a year then fair enough, but it didn't....... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the b*****d frame lasted me a year then fair enough, but it didn't....... :( ← Yeah most frames snap on welds as that is the weakest spot. My Pitbull snapped after 3 months. Speaking from experience, don't expect a 4lb 7005 alu frame to last very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks for your useful input there..... We shall see how my attitude gets me in the next couple of weeks ok... ← Seriously. You be nice to Planet-X, they be nice to you. I had a Zebdi Mk4, got it warrantied really easily as I was decent about it! I phoned them, talked to them and sorted it out. Posting the pics of the snapped frame on a forum is probably enough to mildly annoy PX. Not saying its overly harsh to put them up, but its not tactful at all. Its down to them to warranty it if they want to - thats right - its covered for whatever terms they say - but on their agreement. So if they want to be arsey, they legally can be. So being pushy and "f**k shit b*****d b*****d" on the forum about their top line trials frame isnt going to get you far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishwog Posted March 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 (edited) Sheeet, forgot all about this.. Well.... they kicked up some hissy fit, and offered me a replacement Ali Bongo for another £100. Sheep will excrete from my Anus before I give PX any of my money ever again. Funniest thing was, they where so professional as to write the most childish letter along with the frame return, taking the piss for the fact that I got my mother to sort it out for me :o Ha, wankers :ermm: They dont even ship them to england anymore. ← This is because they have realised that all of England actually know how shit they are, the word hasn't spread around America yet..............yet :) Edited March 26, 2005 by Fishwog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the wank with Brant and the guy who owns PX on Section7? Hmm, probably same way that when Koxx tried to worm their way out of giving Tim a new frame by saying he's "sand blasted it", and then Tim said that on here and everyone got a bit arsey with NSE and Koxx then asked him not to post on here.
