[Closed] End of an Enduro

that's a warranty replacement for sure! You were just riding along, weren't you? 😉

Christ, were you ok?

That's either a warranty repair (if you have the original receipt) or a circa £120 chainstay replacement job.

It need not be the end of your Enduro...

Bloody hell dude!

Yep, a JRA if ever I saw one...! Erm.....

That said, why not speak to Spesh anyway. OK, so it's out of warranty, but why not!

yep it suddenly went all soft in the rear, think the warranty is 5 years

I thought Spesh did life time owner warranties

i'd just use a bit of that JML putty off the advert. Should be fine.

My owner's manual for a 2004 Enduro says "Lifetime Warranty" I'm sure.

from specialized
SPECIALIZED Frame:
On any material and manufacturing defects 5 years from date of purchase, subject to
use as intended and regular maintenance.
The warranty claim forfeits in the cases of:
-Misuse/abuse of the product
-Use of the product for other purposes than intended
-Non-compliance with the operating instructions (e.g. failure to perform the
required regular maintenance by a Specialized dealer)
-Neglect and/or wrong maintenance
-Damage from accidents or falls
-Alterations of the product or the specifications (paintwork, changes of the
geometry, inadmissible add-on parts...)
-Repairs by not authorised dealers

think I may have a full set of exceptions too!!

Specialized's customer service is legendary. Give 'em a call.

It's not the end just needs a bit of maintenance!

Maybe Life Just got Better (From The Manual)

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY ON BICYCLE FRAMES AND FRAMESETS
Subject to the following limitations, terms and conditions, Specialized warrants to the original owner for the lifetime of the original owner of each new Specialized bicycle or frameset that the bicycle frame or frameset when new is free of defective materials and workmanship. The lifetime limited warranty is conditioned upon the bicycle being operated under normal conditions and use, and properly maintained. This limited warranty does not apply to paint/finish or components attached to the bicycle/frameset such as front forks, wheels, drive train, brakes, seatpost, handlebar and stem or any suspension related parts or components. Paint/finish, components attached to the bicycle/ frameset such as front forks, wheels, drive train, brakes, seatpost, handlebar and stem or any suspension related parts or components are covered under the limited one (1) year warranty. This warranty is void if the bicycle or frameset was not purchased new from or not properly assembled by an authorized Specialized dealer.

similar happened to my mate the other week. he tried a warrenty claim but the 5 year warrenty is for front triangle only, think it 2 years for the back end. he only paid £60 for a replacement swig arm

When I bought a Pinnacle from Evans, with a lifetime warranty, they explained that it was for the normal lifetime of the frame not mine. Said it would probably around 5 years. So lifetime might not mean that.

bit of welding and MTFU

I don't think this is the intended use of that frame 😉

Gaffa tape.........

cable ties fix everything!

i know a man who has one and in black email me and i will pass tour details on

My mate spotted what he though was a crack in his 03' back end about 4yrs ago. He'd bought the frame S/H but Mammoth in Milford still sold him a new back end for half price. Four years on he's still not got around to fitting the new rear end & the "crack" has never spread, & he rides the thing very hard.

I'd see it as a good excuse to get a new frame.

Er, surely everything lasts its own lifetime. 😕
