Whilst having a blast round the chase on Saturday just gone, I was riding the newly resurfaced Son of Chainslapper and I head a massive crack. Inspecting the bike thoroughly it transpired that i put a 2mm wide crack in the carbon swingarm at the lower shock mount. Gutted!
The dealer i purchased the bike from last year has ceased trading and so I approached Leisure Lakes Nottingham to see if they could handle a warranty claim for me, and props to Andy and the guys there they agreed to handle it for me.
Monday came as did the obvious phone call from Leisure lakes, who had spoken to ATB sales and advised me that they would cover the repair under warranty. BUT there are no more swing arms available for that model and they will not be making any more.
So now for the good news, ATB sales are giving me a Whyte 146 frame, swingarm and shock as a replacement, but heres the winner, any parts on my bike that are not compatible with the new frame ie forks, chainset etc are also being replaced for FREE as part of the deal.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Sorry to post but a cracking upgrade for free under warranty by the guys at ATB Sales and thanks to Andy and the crew at LL Nottingham for handling the claim.
