My Bronson has started to lose its lacquer coat on the seat stay. There are small bubbles all the way down the stay. Jungle says it’s not an issue as it’s just cosmetic. They said cover it with invisitape and then you won’t see it!

I’m furious. Anyone else had this??

My ltc is scratched and chipped all over the place. 3 years in still rides brilliantly if that is the only cosmetic imperfection after a year or so of riding then you have done well.

Got any photo’s?
Sounds like a manufacturing issue rather than wear and tear?

Couldn’t load the photos but the news is the Santa Cruz are replacing the frame.

Very generous I must say and a big thank you to BIKETREKS for sorting it.

Cheers.

Are they replacing your rear hub and chainset too? Iirc the current v2 model is boost, your v1 isn’t…

unfortunately no… new wheel and cranks needed..
