However, should you have a fall or crash that results in an impact to the carbon material – the frame can become damaged. Should you have an accident with your frame, we recommend that you to take it to your nearest authorized MOMSEN BIKES dealer and have them inspect and check the frame for any structural damage. Should you find any cracks of signs of damage you should stop riding the bicycle immediately. The following are key areas to check and points to take note of: Any external dents or cracks could be a sign of damage Any fraying of material or visible distortion of an area Improper assembly and clamping in key areas like the seattube and downtube can cause cracks or damage to the material Over tightening of Seatclamps / Front Derailleur Clamps and Waterbottle Cage bolts could result in damage to the frame The above are deemed either accident damage or improper assembly/maintenance/adjustment and are not covered by warranty We do understand that the cost of replacing a non-warranty damaged frame can be a financial burden and therefore offer any customer who has purchased their frame within the 2 year period ( from date of purchase ) the option to purchase a replacement frame at a reduced price. Please consult with your nearest MOMSEN BIKES dealer for further details. MOMSEN BIKES reserves the right to make changes at any time , without notice, in specifications, prices, models, decals, materials, colour and appearance of our products. So my point is how do we know if our LBS has correctly assemebled the bike? Basicaly Momsen has covered their side. They can just say that "sorry the bike was not properly assembeled". We pay alot of money for these bikes or for some of us it is a lot of money. They only offered you R2000 this is not right I am sure there is a way around this.
