Is a warrentee a bit like a manatee?

Interesting, one would hope that's because they are producing their own stuff and not because of some sillyness.

That's why I choose Rockshox.
I always thought Fox might eventually lose their Mojo.

Presumably (as there has been no announcement) this is more likely a 'fox part on a bike broke so your warranty is with the bike manufacturer (or shop in reality) not us' kind of situation?

warrentee/Warren Tee - English is not my first language - forgive.

Not having a moan at shop or at mojo. Both have been very nice to deal with.

I'm just passing on what I just heard - that's all.

Did you get any info on who is now handling warranties?

Looks like it they are dumping them, or have been dumped.

They are pumping stuff out at cost.

That would be my guess, it always looked like fox and mojo had a strong relationship, there would have to be a compelling reason to break it. Mind you sometimes strange decisions are made in business.

Fox brought the German distribution and service "in house" a couple of years ago, maybe that is part of their business plan.

Just called them to check on my back orders and unfortunately they aren't Fox's UK distributor any longer. They were always super helpful and I wish them all the best in the future.

Are Fox gonna open a UK office then, or switch to another distributor?

Hope there's no jobs at risk anyways.

Thought I may as well snag an X2 at them prices, was gonna get a new shock anyway and if it doesn't work good on my bike I shouldn't lose much selling it on.

Bah, just as my 36s have developed a creaky steerer too.

Presumably Mojo will still exist as a suspension specialist, just more in the mould of TF Tuned who I suspect won't be delighted about this development.

That's a bit of a [i]shock[/i]. I hope that Mojo stays a[i]Float[/i]. Presumably Fox will [i]Transfer[/i] to a new distributor.

(Hangs head in shame.)

Kind-of glad they have no 36s going cheap.

That was my first thought.

That depends on wheel size and boostness 😀

Strewth, just snagged some 2018 29er Float 34's for £371. They are listed under the "end of line" items. I couldn't say no at that price.

That's a proper blow if Fox have just dumped them 😯

Fox=Mojo in the UK, the two are so intertwined it'll take a lot to unpick the connections. Wonder what that means for the Mojo/Fox demo setup at BPW, unless they've nicked the distribution?

Presumably Mojo will still exist as a suspension specialist, just more in the mould of TF Tuned who I suspect won't be delighted about this development.

Hope they do, I'll be chucking my Rockshox and Cane Creek stuff their way too if it is the case. No problems with TFTuned but having Mojo 20 mins down the road is very handy.

They charged me £20 extra to convert a 200x50 to 200x57.

HTH

Happened here in Oz with Intense, second it was confirmed they shipped all their bikes out to one of the onlines at clearance prices...

Mojo are likely to continue as a suspension specialist and do more than just FoX.....

GeoMetron bikes are unaffected....

and customers asking for "where's best (cheapest) for ____" means they will be looking to trim costs to compete with RS/SRAM

Shhhhh, you're not helping. Though not sure they can be made 190x50 so not going to ask.

Well it looks like I'll be drilling a hole for an internal dropper this week!

The probably got binned off after Fox saw Chris Porter's saddle angle

Not really, Fox always try to position themselves above RS in terms of being a more 'premium' product

Will Rockshox shock hardware kit fit a Fox X2?

why are Mojo selling the forks and shocks off cheap?
I can't see they they need to do that

They will but they will also be trying to trim margins and make sure they don't miss sales.
Though the real point is people want stuff cheaper, and hunt all around for it, manufacturers are looking for ways to deliver and hold market share.

I wonder if Windwave (Marzocchi) might end up the new Fox people?

That's the bit that baffled me as well albeit I know nothing about retail agreements. You'd have thought they would just hold the current stock unless they a) can't afford to or b) they're not doing Fox at all, bar servicing, going forward. Must be something off as I can't see Fox being delighted with them knocking 2018 stuff out at cost.
