werner1619 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 On a new Note, I have noticed that the Classified section is like a Spez graveyard ... many for sale ... Anyone have some insight into this ?
Patchelicious Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 On a new Note, I have noticed that the Classified section is like a Spez graveyard ... many for sale ... Anyone have some insight into this ?It's a function of the fact they have sold tons of them new over the last few years. We tend to buy new bikes every few years. So there should be a correlation between new bikes sales 2-4 years ago and the second hand market of today.

Spez247 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I don't think you can have a successful global brand, if you don't control the whole experience, post sale. I for one enjoyed handing in my bike at a race with a issue on the fork, to be given an identical loaner fork, for day 2 & 3, no questions asked and at no cost or inconvenience.

Oh wait
Rudi Pollard Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Have heard guys being told warranty is shot because a non concept store touched suspension / gears as well as bottom bracket problems. Like I said, actually think Spez is a very good product but don't like to the boxing in. Bit like AppleWhat complete BS. How are they going to monitor this. I just did a XX1 conversion on my bike at home. According to you my warranty is shot? hahaha I would like to see them try

Your warranty is not even close to shot. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/151621-is-there-truth-in-the-new-specialized-rumour/?do=findComment&comment=2650823
Odinson Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Because we all want to sell our current ones to buy the 2016 Stumpjumper Correct, Lurch. Current bikes, liver, spleen, a few feet of intestine and the neighbour kids to get the dough to buy the new Stumpy FSR.

I don't know where these rumor started but it is a bit concerning as I do most of my servicing myself. What can I touch and what cant I touch? I know I am not allowed to service my own suspension, but to be honest I have never had the desire to do that. What about things like the BB and Headset? The BB is standard SRAM technology...
Johny Bravo Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Correct, Lurch. Current bikes, liver, spleen, a few feet of intestine and the neighbour kids to get the dough to buy the new Stumpy FSR. My order is placed. Medium S works 29er. Thank you very much.
