Schmorglebot Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Heyo, I was in a minor accident on the weekend, we were in a paceline, a car reversed out of a driveway and the bloke taking his turn at the front dropped anchor and there was a little collision. I am unscathed but my rear dropout seems to have been damaged causing my wheel to not sit in the frame 100%, causing the tyre to rub against the frame. Insurance has agreed to replace the frame but I need to get a damage report. I'm in Somerset West, does anyone have any recommendations? TL;DR I need a damage assessment on my frame for Insurance, any suggestions? Shot
lerouc Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Which bike is it? Giant - William (williams bike shop - off main road in somerset)Scott - New boys at Helderberg Farm (Bike hanger)BMC - Malan (Velolife, just below Lions Sqaure)Merida - Henning (Pedalworx same building as mombos plastics at the mall) You would usually get better prices on the replacement when you go to their traders but Henning has helped me out with Giant claims in the past as well.
Schmorglebot Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 Awesome! If my LBS can do it then its off to VeloLife. Always top shelf service from those guys Thanks for the info guys

Schmorglebot Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 Out of interest, who are you insured with? I'm with Santam
Mylolylo Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I'm with SantamI had a fall at Cape Town Cycle Tour and LBS wrote the frame off. Also insure with Santam and they were quick to pay out after an email or two of following up. How did you find your experience?

My experience was similar, they were a pleasure to deal with and paid out pretty quickly allowing me to get back on the road. Glad things worked out for you as well
Hairy Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 may I ask what you guys are paying with sanlam in rough figures vs what price the bike is insured for
