Just cleaned the bike and noticed a nasty rub / score in the stanchion coating ๐Ÿ™

Fairly upset, as the bike was only built up recently.
What are RS / SRAM like for warranty issues?

Good ime, but that may not be a warranty issue. Depends what caused it.

Yep, damage != warranty necessarily.

If its not been serviced by a competent mechanic at the recommended intervals you may be on a sticky wicket

Or you might find they forgot to put oil in at the factory which would be warranty.

I was surprised to see in the warranty supplied with a Rockshox shock yesterday that stanchions are apparently considered a wear-and-tear item not covered by the warranty, so good luck - you may have to rely on Sale of Goods Act rather than the warranty.
