jugheaddave Posted November 3, 2013 Share They will ask you how far seat tube was inserted. If not deep enough, you might ha e issues with warranty. Generally they are quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpmytrap Posted November 3, 2013 Share Most definitely. Out of interest, how much is actually still intact? Because it looks like a few more bumps and there would have been a lot of pain that would have gone your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pax_ Posted November 3, 2013 Share Same thing, same place happened to my Anthem, one ride after the K2C. Only noticed it when I washed my bike after the ride. No fuss warranty frame swap from Giant, though I had to wait more than a week for the new frame. Your LBS may charge you for the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 3, 2013 Share And yes... it's a warranty claim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolutionary Posted November 3, 2013 Share Looks like a clear cut warranty claim but remember, you need to be the original purchaser too. Second hand bikes don't keep their warranty. @ Malpiet, careful using using Google/Forums as your source for "common" bicycle problems. People only post when they have problems so you may find 50 incidences which may seem a lot, but maybe 50'000 of that model was sold.
