 This reminds me of that 80s movie: "The Never Ending Warranty Process" You need a wish dragon to get you through it.

 Never owned a YT, and none of my friends have one, but I've been tempted by them. How bad is the warranty process, especially now that the pandemic is over and those insane supply chain issues that made everyone's warranty a bit dodgy are behind us?

 @g-42: I smashed my alloy front triangle with a good rock bash. They replaced it very quickly

 I only had a minor thing, the bottle cage of the testator failed. The sent me a new one, complete set with bottles, right away.

 @g-42: I was in contact with YT's warranty service two times while owning an Tues. Both were however on YT's own initiative, as they offered to replace a Renthal stem and an e*thirteen rear hub assembly free of charge due to manufacturer recalls. Last one was about two years after I bought the bike. Would not hesitate buying one again.

 I cracked the Jeffsy carbon frame twice (manufacturer error). Each time it was a nightmare - countless emails, calls etc. Approx 8 months total waiting time. YT never again.

 @g-42: i have 3. Capra , Tues, and Decoy, i wish i could help you, but i've never had to call them for any warranty issues in 6 years. warranties come and go and the bikes still huck.

 @g-42: I’m still riding a 2019 Jeffsey. The only warranty issue I had was with the hub driver. Evidently a batch were not machined properly, but they replaced it quickly and without issue.

 I think they jumped the shark with this one.

 @oscartheballer: I have nothing but good experiences with their US service desk over the last year or two. Responsive and helpful with quick shipping when I needed it.

 It's creative, but wow I hate it so much.

 I’ve had one customer service interaction with YT, regarding a third party component, and they were excellent. Quicker than my LBS.

I often think these people who have massive problems must be terrible at communicating themselves. Skill issue? Can’t write a basic email?

 I always wonder how native English speakers like such a German accent - is it funny? Or just normal?
  • 6 1
 Basil Fawlty. That is all.

 Flossmann's accent is horrible and somehow breaks the infomercial style. Why is he so keen on being the main character?
  • 6 1
 @effeffeff: bullshit, I thought he was one of the best bits.

Why main character? Have a think…

 Yea sounds strange compared to native English, but then so do Americans, Canadians and Australians. Personally I love Germany and German people, would happily move there.

 It's like Kung Fury, only it's a bike ad with no bike in it.

 On an XXL frame size the top tube length is only 645 mm and a stack is only 642 mm. Not sure who this bike is built for but certainly not anyone who is actually tall.

 Yea I’m 6’1 and would go for an XXL I think!
