jcza Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I have had no issues up till now with any of the stores service - but what brand in their right mind sells EVERY piece of the SWAT kit individually, EXCEPT the ONE piece most likely to break - the plastic box - so in order to replace that, you land up with the following items you don't need or want, and guaranteed already have (because the bike came with the kit) 2 x bottle cages1 x multi tool1 x bomb1 x bomb head adapter1 x tube1 x chainbreak So - I have only one thing to say to #specialized - #EPICFAIL - nice try to gouge your customers.... And finally - a big up to Phillip at Complete Cyclist in Bryanston and his boss - they came through with a replacement - FREE of charge - which just goes to show that some dealers have more decency and common sense than the brand - because I know the replacement had f-all to do with Spez. Deep breath doc, don't want to waste energy this week.

BSG Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 My word, saw this in the Tread mag, flippen nice bike!!
Iceman. Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I've just decided not to buy the Swat box with its goodies since you can't buy a replacement box only when you need to. So I keep all those individual parts in my cycling top and saddle bag.
