this sucks buddy, i know the feeling!

not sure if it means you where riding it properly, or it conforms to the session 88 stereotype. Let us know if you need a hand finding a replacement, theres a few cool frames about. theses a canfield jedi with no shock on ebay that your bits should swap onto nice Wink

it beyond sucks, i don't have a full time job, just left school, about to go college and don't have enough money, I'm screwed!!!

chazdog (Aug 1, 2011 at 10:14)

same when my gt busted, had to beg and borrow. May be you only option, student account with overdraft. or try selling the bits and buying a cheaper complete? still got warranty or not?

jamespayne (Aug 1, 2011 at 10:17)

ummm, just registered it...lol. Never bothered before, i didn't really think i would ever snap a DH bike, I didn't think I could go big enough, but it wasn't even that big, that's whats pissing me off!

chazdog (Aug 1, 2011 at 10:20)

paper thin tubing, lots did it i'm afraid, even brooklyns snap eventually. GLue?

jamespayne (Aug 1, 2011 at 10:36)

lol, frame wise i've found a nukeproof scalp frame, no shock, brand new for £1214.99

chazdog (Aug 1, 2011 at 11:19)

waay too much, can get pretty much ANY frame second hand for £600

jamespayne (Aug 1, 2011 at 11:21)

chazdog (Aug 1, 2011 at 11:26)

jamespayne (Aug 1, 2011 at 12:08)

yeah cool, will try and get it fixed first

chazdog (Aug 1, 2011 at 12:10)

may even get a stronger 2011 on warranty, thatd be cool.

jamespayne (Aug 1, 2011 at 12:19)

probably just the swing arm i've heard, but a frame would be great too

jamespayne (Aug 22, 2011 at 9:11)

Got a new swing arm, so I'm back riding after 3 weeks out! Was £200 and its a 2011 one!

chazdog (Aug 22, 2011 at 14:25)

nice one dude! still had to pay for it tho Frown

jamespayne (Aug 23, 2011 at 0:01)

Yeah but at least I'm back riding, I hope that the old swing arm was cracked or something, so I can go as big as I want without worrying.

chazdog (Aug 23, 2011 at 2:01)

Hope it doesnt hiurt your confidence on it, i mean gwin seems to be doing fine!!

jamespayne (Aug 23, 2011 at 2:09)

Yeah, just trying not to flat land everything, but my confidense is growing with jumping, and I can't really help it, jumps seem to be getting smaller and smaller. That is a good thing for when I go chipshop, as I need to hit the ladder drop.

chazdog (Aug 23, 2011 at 2:20)

braver than me then! Razz

Bike shed are good lads and told me most damage frame wise should be warrented ... Since its snapped on the welds its a blatant manafacturers (thats spelt wrong) fault ! Without a dought

jamespayne (Aug 1, 2011 at 10:57)

yeah, got a mate who knows a mate who works for trek and is gunna try and get it sorted under warrenty

JonnyNorthshore (Aug 1, 2011 at 10:35)

Ouch... Bike Shed said they'd had 3 snapped rear triangles on sessions recently! I think you should be able to get a warranty replacement??? Or use a bit of super steel and glue the f*cker back on...?

jamespayne (Aug 1, 2011 at 10:37)

looked at the warranty, said i need to go to a trek dealer, ie bike shed and get it certified to get it under warranty, might go up tomorrow, at least i can still push it

JonnyNorthshore (Aug 1, 2011 at 13:48)

Yeh should try your best to get it foc as replacing it will cost loads!!!
