Indeed it is ๐Ÿ™

I've been so busy with work since I got back from Morzine on the 25th I haven't had a chance to unpack it or sort it out, I was just putting it on my rack to pop up Cwmcarn and spotted this lurking behind my chainguide.

I've had a few frames repaired sucesfully but I'm guessing no-one in their right mind would try repairing such a big crack in such a high stress area?

And the most annoying thing? Warranty ran out on July 9th ๐Ÿ™

If the warranty only ran out a couple of days ago, I'd give a warranty claim a go. It's close enough for a generous company to build up their customer service bonus points, no?

Ouch! Looks like you were lucky not to have a nasty accident on holiday.

I'd contact them directly as you might find they'll at least help out with low cost replacements - getting failures back to them is valuable development info for their designers and is worth something to them, so they should give you a good deal on a new main triangle at least

Have a bash a warranty worst they can do is say get bent. More than likely honour the warranty as thats quite a failure.

Poor show if they don't at least offer an at cost replacement a crack like that doesn't just happen (unless you crash).
