The MTBer Posted April 12, 2016 Share Do you service your bike regularly?Do you give it a major service at least once a year?Something that's 40% broken cant be 100% functional without a huge amount of risk to YOU.The LBS have a expenses on your behalf like telephone calls, courier etc etc etc.You can be gratefull that it finally broke while at the LBS.So, it's def not a case of them paying nothing.If it was my bikeshop, you would have paid for everything.The only mistake they made was promising to pay for it without making sure of ALL the facts at that very moment.So, don't take chances like this plse - pay up - they're being more than fair!I am sorry, have you ever read a sign in a shop that say "when you brake it, you pay it"? doesn't that mean you have to pay even when that product even if you didn't intend to break it?

dre Posted April 12, 2016 Share Not sure I understand. It was 40% broken, but 100%... what does that mean. You mean that you could still ride but it would give way completely at any time; because it's either broken or not. Not sure how you would measure something being 40% broken...

RocknRolla Posted April 12, 2016 Share 40% is just a percentage I gave it, you cannot see that the product already have a weak spot. How did the bike shop then establish that the part had a failure before re-assembly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOEKVLAG Posted April 12, 2016 Share Bad timing for them, but it probably saved you a good deal of pain in the long run. I would have paid cost without complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTBer Posted April 12, 2016 Share http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Tech-Tuesday-RockShox-Maxle-Lite-DH-2011.html at 1:20-1:25 it shows you a skewer, that broke (the thread is now too short), and of you take the axle just by looking at it you cannot see if there is fatigue on the threads.

Paul Ruinaard Posted April 12, 2016 Share Hmm What would have happened if it broke on your first ride instead of in their shop? THen you would have complained that they should have replaced it as it was faulty. Sorry mate things wear out and if they break because of wear then its your liability not the LBS. I think they offered to fix at cost so you got a new axle for something that was faulty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
