DubbelBuys Posted September 11, 2014 Share WTB Vigilante tyres good? LOADS of grip! Easy to set up tubeless & good price! Can't comment on mileage yet. & neither on side wall strength, but holding up well thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 11, 2014 Share Is it true that Giant has a lifetime warranty on frames? How long is 'lifetime'? Lifetime of the frame while still in the hands of the original owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbelBuys Posted September 11, 2014 Share Lifetime of the frame while still in the hands of the original owner. That kicks most of the other brands out the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted September 11, 2014 Share Lifetime of the frame while still in the hands of the original owner. ....and Dragon Sports are pretty good and efficient at replacing them without hassles.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 12, 2014 Share ....and Dragon Sports are pretty good and efficient at replacing them without hassles. (Not that Trances have ever had a reputation for breaking.) Not having any experience, there are not many complaints with Giant owners, either with failures or warranty issues.

Mojoman Posted September 12, 2014 Share ....and Dragon Sports are pretty good and efficient at replacing them without hassles. (Not that Trances have ever had a reputation for breaking.)Haven't managed to break my 26 in Trance in the year I have had it! With the last brand of bike I had... 2 frames broke in under a year under the same riding conditions. But I was under the impression the warranty, although 'for life' is limited to 5 years as this is seen as the lifetime of the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBeer Posted September 12, 2014 Share ....and Dragon Sports are pretty good and efficient at replacing them without hassles. (Not that Trances have ever had a reputation for breaking.)can vouch for that. Have cracked 2 Anthem frames and had no issues. They didn't even ask for proof of purchase.

I was also thinking 5 years as that's lifetime for most alu frames, but they state 10 years for rigid forks & lifetime for frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted September 12, 2014 Share can vouch for that. Have cracked 2 Anthem frames and had no issues. They didn't even ask for proof of purchase. Anthems aplenty, and those gave Dragons the opportunity to prove how well they stand by the lifetime warranty, but Trances simply don't seem to break frames. I rode an old 26er Trance for about 6 years and still have 2 in the family. (See my avatar) Same thing (almost) with Reigns, they are bomb proof, but I do know of a few that broke, mostly under people that rode them very long and hard or used trees to stop suddenly .

Even the tree braking technique only managed to put a little dent in the belly of the downtube. The bike would have happily carried serving me, but I am shallow like that..
