Out today in a bit of a mudfest and started to get difficult to select bigring, about 3 miles from the end of the ride and there was a massive crack.

Stopped to check and rh bb bearing has come out and lh crack arm has come off losing the xt plastic retaining nut thingy.

Bike is only 6months old and had 6week check over a fortnight ago as I'd not used it for the first 4 months due to injury.

Should be covered under warranty shouldn't it??

I would have thought the bike shop would sort you out. Is the frame broken or did the bearing unscrew from the frame?

Dropped it off to primera Bournemouth today, had it back all sorted by 4.30.

Happy bunny here! ๐Ÿ™‚

Glad you got it sorted mate. Good on primera.
Was a tad muddy wasn't it

Enjoyed the ride though even though mine turned into a Santa cruz Superheavy!
