Heard a funny noise today.

[Peter88]

Riding down to Clayton vale this morning and while going down an unmade road ( Rose Hey Lane for those in the Failsworth area) heard a noise like a small firework going off and the back end suddenly felt a bit loose. Stopped and looked at the bike and.........

What bike is it?

 

[screenman]

What bike is it?

A broken one.

 

[Cubist]

Boardman, judging by the label

 

[Peter88]

What bike is it?

It is (was) a 2009 Boardman comp.

Is it still in warranty period?

 

[Peter88]

Is it still in warranty period?

2 year warranty on frames 1 year on components :-(

 

[Peter88]

I bought the frame 3 years ago off the son of a work friend and built it up myself. Have doubts Boardman would be interested.

 

[donnyjnk]

ouch and well done. if youve done this to your boardman im going to try to break mine too. thanks for the inspiration

 

[I like Skol]

Not been down that lane before but will check it out next time I'm there. Normally come along Vale Lane then past the sh!t farm on my way to the Vale.

Your bike is Fubar'd.... get a proper one next time. The doubtful provenance of your bike will remove any chance of a goodwill warranty claim IMO.

Try one of these VVVVVVV, they are very good even when 20 years old

Peter 88, that bike is so done, you can stick a fork in it. Amazing, that it would fail that way, across 2 tubes. I would take it to a Boardman dealer and see what they say. May be something they can do for you. @I like Skol, I love that Zaskar LE.

Carbon frame or Alloy?
