FatBoySlim1 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Ok so here is the deal, was checking my bike today after a bit of a rough ride on the weekend, and found this (see pic).Before I go and scare the daisies out of myself on the replacement cost for a Spez rear shock, do you think its broken beyond repair.

Skylark Posted April 12, 2014 Share Is that the pipe that feeds the brain that's come totally loose?How can that shock even function with it like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoySlim1 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Yep. Broke right off. Clearly isn't working any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted April 12, 2014 Share So I guess you can't claim warrantee? Surely Spez can't claim you mistreated the equipment. It is after all a MTB. So a rough ride should not cause a part to just break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could still be under warranty. Edited April 12, 2014 by YUMEYA Skylark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve61 Posted April 13, 2014 Share 2010 bike and you expect to claim under warranty ..... whoohooo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoySlim1 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Spez 5yr warranty. I'm not expecting to get far with that though. I have seen what others have gone through for them to honor it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUMEYA Posted April 13, 2014 Share 2010 bike and you expect to claim under warranty ..... whoohooo!! Spez 5 years on frame and I think suspension too. Plus that is a proprietary shock, so very likely. Edited April 13, 2014 by YUMEYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted April 13, 2014 Share Spez 5yr warranty. I'm not expecting to get far with that though. I have seen what others have gone through for them to honor it. If you have had it serviced at regular intervals and recently too within the last month or so ,your Specialized dealer can motivate for a replacement.If not serviced regularly it could cost you a lot, but you will most likely get a new shock at a full service price.That needs to get to Stellenbosch via your local big S dealer .
