  2. Ok, here is my story On the 12th of July 2016 I walked into Lynwood cycles and saw the bike of my dreams standing there a Brand new Specialized Venge , The bike was sold as soon as it caught my eye I had the bike for a day when the first trouble started with the cable routing, where the gears could not keep the tension and the cables had to be rerouted by them. problems solved no issues Then the creeking started, this was about a week after my last visit , They disassembled the bike to figure out they did not have the tools to take the bottom bracket off So they basically took the chain rings off ,glued them with Loctite , They then told me that they had epoxied the BB's one side onto the frame? Alu on Alu epoxied? The next day they told me they decided to take the epoxy off again(I have not had the bike back in this time) When I eventually got my bike back, I noticed the BB scratched (obviously from using the wrong tools) The rear wheel was scratched on the Hub (and greased with about 200ml of grease to the extent of not even hearing the thing when freewheeling) I was told that the bike was still creeking and I should ride it until they had the tools to take the BB off, so I rode it like this until they eventually got the tools in, Took it back again, they apparently stripped the thing to the bearings, They told me if this solution does not solve the problem, they do not know what to do further? Got the bike back, and yes the creeking is still there Today was just the cherry on the cake when the derailleur overthrew the chain into the rear wheel and I was left stranded at the Suikerbos reserve, (this has never happened to me in over 10 years of cycling) I am real disappointed in the bike, but do not wish to "name and shame" Lynwood cycles as they have tried to help fix the problem, the thing here is the problem is not going away.. Every trip has had me going all the way from Vereeniging to Pretoria ..which I cannot afford in terms of time.. I would like to ask the people on this forum for help, Where do I stand with the warranty on this issue of specifically the creeking , Can this be claimed under a warranty from a legal perspective? I would really appreciate any help Regards Gerhard
  3. So I was cruising through sea point this morning, hit a bump and thought a riding mate let one rip. Only then realised my seat was a little wobbly. Snapped above the clamp, had carbon paste on shaft, torqued to correct torque. There is an inherent problem with the seat post as the lacquer chips off and then becomes too skinny and then slides down the whole time, in the process rubbing away some carbon. Seat post has done 25 000km.
