HOW GOOD! Rocker cracked on Saturday, inspected this morning, warranty sorted, frame hopefully out to me this afternoon 🙂
As good as Hope's?
better
Careful, you'll have all the haters frothing and screaming how wrong you are.
Echo above, but the day after for me rather than same day
Took Guapo into on-one on Monday, picked up replacement on Tuesday, I built up on Wednesday before flying first thing to the alps on Thursday
Couldn't have been much more in the nick of time
*weld crept further than should have done I think, rather than a design flaw
Did they replace the whole frame then Rob?
dave - just the rocker afaik
james - what happened to yours?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I have given before, re ratting out of warranties, lying about how long they are, claiming there are exceptions when there are none...
a weld from the ISCG tab appeared to have crept too far onto the sharp edged shaped bit where the chainstay mount on the back of the seattube/BB is. Where the weld ended it immediately became the sharp edge, and a small crack appeared about 18 months in. It may have been there a while though, I only found it because it got a proper clean prior to flying with it and trying to hit 32kg. Not somewhere the hosepipe and a rag make much of job of cleaning below the front mech
On the replacement V3 (I had a V2 (first one on-one tweaked very slightly*)) the ISCG tab weld is nowhere near the sharp edge bit
*cable guides, taper headtube and full orange colourscheme is all I think
My mate managed to crack his 10yr old tinbred recently. Well out of warranty, but they offered a decent discount against a new frame when he said he was going to buy a replacement.
Fair play 😀
