thanks for every ones response some useful information on here. they are still on there way from SRAM TECH in Holland apparently.
the oridginal responce from SRAM TECH
“I’ve reviewed this case after talking to the technician who made the assessment & find no reason to reverse the original findings.
This case is not one for warranty, damage to the upper tubes, the arch & presence of paint flaking & bending to both the arch & the upper tubes is indicative of an impact causing this. It may not have been caused by the small jump the rider took when the break actually happened, but it has happened at some time.”
there is no damage to upper tubes there is to the arch that’s snapped, the paint flaking is from after the arch snapped as the forks flex alot without that arch been there turns out that’s very important to the structure,and no idea what the bending was about as the legs are very straight.
I will post hi res pics when they return as they are in excellent condition.
If I had crashed them I would accept they broke and get on with my life but I didn’t they just snapped.
