@DHhack: too soon....

@jomacba: don’t you trash the specialized e150 fork. 25mm axle, integrated steerer. Best fork I ever test rode.

Liability. You’d have to go out and do testing. Prove that adding that accessory doesn’t enhance injury. If it does and you accept that as a helmet company, just opens doors for lawyers to clean house

@friendlyfoe: I’ve definitely heard of people getting stuff when they shouldn’t. ESP if it is the old stuff still hanging around the warehouse. Doesn’t mean you were entitled to it and that’s what a lot of people don’t understand about warranty. People seem to think bike manufacturers are paying their insurance policy on bikes. If you crash or break anything else in life it’s your insurance that makes you whole and you pay for that

@tgent: there is nothing in life where you can break it and just get a new version for life. They are limited lifetime warranty which isn’t the same thing. Direct from scb’s site: The warranty for damage arising from accidents, crashes and other impacts is limited to offered replacement at a reduced charge as set forth above. Any implied warranties (including without limitation the warranties of merchantability and fitness for particular purpose) which may not be disclaimed under applicable law are limited in duration to the period set forth above or the applicable statute of limitations, whichever is shorter.

Almost worth firing up the mtbr forum to watch them roll in

@clink83: I think most will agree, it’s just Cannondale’s flexing carbon making them nervous

@tgent: that’s actually very common. Trek only changed theirs to include rear swings in 2019 and had walked away from covering them in 2012. Whole industry waffles on warranty based off of what the other is doing but all of them will handle it the same. Warranty doesn’t mean you get a free bike when you hand off your beer and say watch this. Casing a jump and shearing a head tube isn’t warranty in anyone’s handbook.

What super chief toked up on the devil’s lettuce thought putting “harbor” anywhere close to the word tool was a good idea for a premium product

Really should have flashed an intro saying “Brian Lopes did not injury anyone in the making of this film”
