stoffel Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I thought I was a happy owner of a new 2007 Raleigh RC6000 Carbon Bike until the chainstay cracked while I was standing to climb a hill! Frame promptly replaced but only to discover this one has a paint defect/bubble on the head tube. Heard of 3 other frames that have cracked in the same place. What's going on with Raleigh's quality? stoffel2007-02-21 12:48:58
Crono Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 you want to know what's up with the raleigh quality........ ITS A RALEIGH BRU!If you think of raleigh, what do you think of............ MAKRO AND GAME.
dirtrider Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 This is terrible !!! Ok to be honest I am on my 3rd MTB Raleigh frame . They got the new MTB frames right but now it seems the road bikes suffers from the same ailment ! Not good news , looks like I will have to change brands

Guest Big H Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Crono whatever you ride, it is most likely made in the same factory in Taiwan as Raleigh ( the suurtiete will now chip in and say BUT YES TO THE SPECIFICATION OF MY BIG Brand XXX with a spaghetti groupset) ...... wake up from your winter hibernation caveman!!!!!!Â

dirtrider Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 And something under my butt is also cracking !
Wheelsuck Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Stoffel, contact Raleigh or ur LBS and they will sort out. Their product might not be that good but their aftersales service and warrantees are much better than some of the other brands out there. I think they are in PEÂ and your LBS should have their no. Â

chris414 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Just out of interest, does raleigh have a life time guarentee on its frames?
dirtrider Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Saffa I said that with you in mind . I think the warranty is a "life time" . They replaced my last frame at 2 and half years .
