paulvs Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 the local agents are well known for not being very keen on any warranty replacements. Bunch of w@nkers. I dont buy or support the brand anymore.
Slowbee Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Harry1, any comments from your side ? Perhaps an apology ?

Dragging names through the mud for his mistake ? I mean I am no mechanic, but I sure as hell know when something is not working as it should !

What mistake??????Have you bothered to look at the picture????? Kranswurm catch a wake up and have a cup of coffee!!I ride a SL2 and that picture shows that the damage that was done to that frame was due to a chain rubbing on the frame.He dropped his chain and instead or stopping and putting it back he did what all these "funriders" do and treid to get the chain back on the chainring by pedalling.Looking at the amount of damage done this seems to have been happening over a period of time. So what needs to be done by harry1 is to write an apology on this forum and explain how those marks got on that frame.
Kranswurm Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Onetime.....do me a favour.I dont care what bike you ride.Walk over to it.If you can find the chain.Take it of the chainring so it drops on the bottom bracket and carefully turn the pedal andatch if the chain rotates.Also ver carefully and attentively look to see if the chain can by any stretch of he imagination touch that part of the bottomstay.Then on your way back to the computor make yourself a cup of coffee
Bike Mob Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Specialized and Le Peloton have offered nothing but great service and excellent products. if you cant read a warranty in black and white, then dont get upset when they state the facts and turn you down. No manufacturer will simply send you a brand new frame in the post when you break your and make up a story about how it wasn't your fault. Warranty departments must have heard it all before and that's why they print a terms and conditions booklet. No-one creates lightweight cutting edge technology that never fails... if it was steel this would never happen - but come on. The guy wore a hole though his bike like a chainsaw and then blames the importer. Not fair. Take a long hard look at how something fails before getting all steamed up, a lot of the time it poor maintenance or bad setup. Take some responsibility for your own actions. Le Peloton bend the rules to keep us happy. I certainly am.

Took me some time to find the chain on my bike but I did. If you drop the chain onto the bottom bracket and try to get it back up with the FD the chances that it gets stuck between the small chainring and the frame does exist. The chain will then leave a mark on the frame and do it a few times and the frame will be damaged. If still you do not understand make an appointment with me and I will show you what I'm talking about.
wisecrack Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I agree ^^ I dropped my chain early in the Argus on my cervelo tried like the pro's to get it back without stopping ,but to no avail. Only tried this once stopped and put the chain back the old fashioned way, After inspecting the bottom bracket I noticed one or two small places where paint chipped from the dropped chain ,but NOTHING as serious as the picture of the grated frame in this post, but then again it's a cervelo
Slowbee Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Kranswurm, exactly as you say - I am unsure how that mark got there. But it is very much a case of "something" rubbing against it. Its not like a crack in a frame or a stress failure. Something rubbed that frame and by the looks of it for a while. Harry1 should explain what happened and for how long. This side of the story seems to have been left out. So judgement is reserved for later. But as things stand, they dont look good for him. Do you like rusks with your coffee? Wish they could make a rusk that doesnt leave bits at the bottom of the cup.
