Swizzbizz Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Quality first post there Swissbizz. I assume you are working for the local suppliers and that you will never make another post that does not concern Volcan? I am actually not working for anyone but I have met some of the Volcàn / Emotion Cycling people and heard the story directly from them.When I stumbled over this forum the Volcàn post I felt like telling you guys what I know (which is not a lot...).
Brewster Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 The pivots on my Volcan fs pro ( its a great bike by the way!) packed up ...took my bike to my LBS and got them to order a new set... from Emotion/Evo cycling,when the parts arrived a few weeks later they were used..theads stripped and bearings seized! The LBS I had my bike at could'nt get hold of them, no replys with email or from phone messages...I managed to get hold of them and was told to put my complaints in an email...before i could, the Rep from 'emotion' rang me up and after hearing my rant out...they have appologised and replaced my complete pivot and bearing set..for mahala! So far its taken over a month and the 2 consilations are that at least i have a loaner bike from the LBS and' Emotion' did the right thing...down side was too much stress and lost faith in boutique brands and my Lbs for putting a 100% mark up on the parts!!!

Wheelsuck Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Had a XC-29 a very stiff and responsive ride. Cracked the frame, my fault, but still rode it till I decided it's not a good idea. Would rate it as a hard and reliable ride and not much of a flexy frame.
Guest Latent Blue Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I though Vulcan was destroyed by that Romulan called Nero...?

ChUkKy Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 What is a boutique brand? Its like a lekker expensive pair of panties that you bought your girlfriend. Its an item thats hard to find, lots of money paid for it and 1 poephol only gets close to it. nathrix 1
