Da2lip Posted December 11, 2008 Share It was not setup wrong.. There is a pin that holds the cage together. That popped out. The front part of the cage was what struck the stay. the back part of the cage was still attatched to the RD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if it was genuine equipment failure, I for one would be getting some Italian Euro's in compensation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what if the equipment fails as i leave the shop and end up under a car. can i get hospital expenses from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastapouch Posted December 11, 2008 Share nope saw it myself at the lbs.. The pin in the RD popped out and the cage swung round and hit the rear stay.. a nasty sight.. Was a nice SL2 (world champ colours) I see a Commondale recall coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the thing was set-up properly, and the equipment failed (which a half decent mechanic should be able to ascertain in a heartbeat) I'd sue for the damage to the frame. Simple. Oh, and in direct response to your question, if their equipment failed, and I got damaged as a direct result of failure, not negligence on the part of whomever set it up, I'd sue.TNT12008-12-11 03:15:21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnekop Posted December 11, 2008 Share Spinnekop This sh*t does happen even with Campag (even though i hate to say it). You remember the set i bought from you' date=' the front mech snapped the cage when i dropped the chain off the big ring during the test ride after mounting the group set. So now i'm still riding with my old Chorus front mech.[/quote'] That doesn't sound right.Ar you sure that The gap between the big ring and the FD was good? The FD was tight enough and did not move down and hooked the chainrings when you shifted down?I hope that is the case......I sure as hell did not sell you a faulty item. Hagar.....Thanks for the pic..... Pic of the RD? Which pin? I need to check mine......... Spinnekop2008-12-11 03:21:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da2lip Posted December 11, 2008 Share Not sure wich pin.. I would check both. I was at the shop and saw that bike being tested after it was built. Everything worked 100% at that stage. These things do happen. Just be glad he was not moving at high speed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
