Where do I get spares for my Voodoo Wanga? Sliding dropout is mangled after today's mech disaster, sadly the whole dropout is one unit.

Contact Voodoo directly.

Excellent dealings with Joe (Murray) direct.

I found Halfords to be useless when inquiring.

Cheers.

I've spoken with him before regarding geometry of the bike.

How many other companies let you speak to a legend via email?

All ordered and done, via Mr Murray himself.

Can't really fault that for service and only 20 quid for the parts.

He mentioned that the Halfords Wanga is different to the stateside Wanga, makes me wonder if Halfords are just using the name.

Correct. You should see what Halfords have done with this years range. Looks just like the carrera range to me. And the Wanga is now Aluminium. And the Canzo looks identical to their Banshee. Eeeww!

I thought the 'hydroformed' frame looked a bit strange for a bit of steel.

Don't look like such good value now.

How are they Wanga's if they don't have the steel frame?

Utter bollocks.

Yep - they first get exclusive distribution, then force the prices down leading to the company geting into financial difficulty, then take them over and then start selling cheaper stuff as their own in-house brand, keeping the 'cachet' of the original manufacturers hard-won good name.

Oops, sorry - that's Richer Sounds...

Hopefully they aren't going to try and put Mr Murray out of business.

I'm sure the first lot of Wanga's they had in the UK were steel.

My one is an original import from years ago, I think cycle surgery imported them.

Are you ordering a steel Wanga from overseas RoCkEtDoG?
