Feel I should just let you guys know of my recent experience with Thomson CS.
Having cracked my 4 year old stem through sheer idiocy (overtorquing a steerer pinch bolt), thomson (via iRide) replaced it free of charge without proof of purchase. Awesome...
jota - whats to say that stem has not been over torqued - the bolts look a bit dinted to me?
I think you may have missed my rather sarcastic point there foxy
I'm having a dig about the word 'awesome'
How'dyou manage that? I did exactly the same and had to buy a whole new headset!

Did you tell them they were awesome?
Mine cracked as well, no free replacement here, they just sent me a link to where I could buy a new one.
you cracked a face-plate and replaced it qwith a headset?
That [i]is[/i] awesome.
You bought a new headset???
I just asked nicely, and got a good response. As for the use of the word awesome, it's relative to your other experiences of customer service (and hoe much you like volcanos).
Edit: I cracked the body, not the faceplate. I asked if I could buy a new body and they replaced the whole thing FOC.
I just bought another one from Merlin last week- it came with 3mm bolts not the standard 4mm..
I'm going to die, aren't I?? ๐ฅ
My new one has the smaller bolts, I think they're there to stop idiots like me overtorquing them.

Sorry LOL - long day ๐
Awesome.
My seatpost snapped after a few years of riding. They said it was because the bolts had been overtightened. Fair enough.
