If you look near the link, where it attaches to the swingarm there is a crack. It may just be laquer, but i really wouldn’t trust it now i’ve seen this! I am quite familiar with carbon, as i (did) work with a mainly carbon aircraft. What does the general consensus think? Purchased september 2009. I’m not keen on continuing to ride it.

Note: I really am NOT a ‘go big’ type of rider (really!) Anyone had dealings with ATB sales warranty returns before?

Off to the dealer tomorrow i think!

Pic too small to see. EDIT – it’s bigger now!

ATB are in our experience nothing short of excellent.

Lol, i should have previewed better! I hope they are, the warranty is 5 years after all.

Marin / Whyte service is excellent IME..

Back to the shop who should be able to help.

Brilliant, i hope they are!

Yes, the dealer service was second to none! Rutland Water Cycles maintenance/workshop manager, Ian was excellent and immensely helpful sorting it out under warranty. Thoroughly recommended.

Whyte have excellent service. Cracked my E5 frame (2007 model) last year and they gave me a new one no messing.

😀 oh yes!
