trialkid Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 well iv just found a massive crack around the top of the right seat stay on the metal, not the weld. i have had the frame for 5 months, and am a pretty smooth rider, havent done any big drops on it, i used to on my zebdi but it died cos of them so i did'nt do any. does anyone know if there would be any possibility of getting a warrenty replacement? or pay abit more for a pitbull. i bought the frame from bikedock and have the receipt, anyone who has had a similar experience or any help, it would be very much appreciated.

Matt_Tupman Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Give them a call, tell them your sitiation and wait for their reply thats all you can do :huh: I've found that Echo's warrenty is prtty flexable but normally in favour of the seller not the buyer You should atleast get discount on a new frame but I think you should get a Control rather than a Pitbull far better geo in my opinion :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 J jones snapped his pretty quick I think and he's pretty smooth.. Get a control yeah :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialkid Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 ok cheers guys, only thing is a run a v brake on the back, but its not too expensive for a new magura is it, can you still get 1060 pures does anyone know cos i do like them, but a control may be in line for a next bike. i shall give them a call soon.

Matt_Tupman Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Don't get a Pure not if you can get a Control :lol:" Yeah just get a Maggy or you could get some V adapters but they tend to flex a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Get Edd Potts (Dave85) to make you some adapters, he's f**king good at it. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialkid Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 yea i think new magura is in order. i am thinking pitbull because i really like the ride of the bounce, but have heard the pitbull is stronger. the higher bottom bracket worrys me about the control, even though i would get a 1060 of pitbull or control. i do quite a few street stuff on my bounce and the higher bottom bracket just makes me feel it would be harder to do such moves compared to a pitbull. then again i have not riden either but would imagine the pitbull would ride similar to the bounce but just abit longer, im probabaly wrong though.

Pauly Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 i got mine from x street mate, all i did was told them the situation and they said yes ok thats fine, and i simply sent them the frame and waited for my new one, to be onest mate i think there haveing you on i think the only way your going to get somewhere is do the good old nagging Cheers Pauly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialkid Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 yea im pretty sure they are, its their problem, my dad rang them earlier when i was in school n they said, 'well we are not sure on the warrenty issues of the frame' they full well know its one years like all echo frames, so i will talk to them tomorrow after school, cheers pauly.
