My mate recently bought an inbred fame. He also recently had a kink in his chainstay. Can't figure out what caused it. He sent it back to on-one and they have told him that they won't be replacing it as they think he has done it deliberately. Bit shit I think, I ride an older inbred and have always liked them as a company.
Any one about with similar experiences and does anyone think its worth him pursuing it further.

Usually a bit of a struggle with a dent/kink
Any photos or more info?
I've had an inbred replaced due to a dodgey disc mount and it was done very quickly

Hmmm, I think it would be very hard to prove that a kink in a chainstay is due to a manufacturing defect.
Any chance of a pic of said kink ?Posted 10 months ago # -
I snapped a pompino.
After a bit of discussion they replaced it.Posted 10 months ago # -
I had a crack appear in my inbred chainstay when it was 18 months old, 2 year warranty. On-One would have been happy to replace it, they actually sent me a scandal for just £50, scandal cost £100 more at the time. So your experience suprises me, try asking them for a cost reduction?

wheres the kink?
was he trying to put an "anti-chainsuck" kink in it near the BB?Posted 10 months ago # -
The kink is on the inside of the chainstay where the tyre passes. Come to the conclusion that his wheel may of come out and kinked it. Which wouldn't be a manufacturing fault. So fair enough.
