 thats ironic... |

...hi guys, remember my absolutely ridiculous forum thread about trying to snap my frame to claim on insurence? (oh and if you didnt read the reply to it i said im sorry in it so yeah  )
well it looks like i wont have to....the frame is bodging up and the linkages arent liking it atall. there apears to be a cracking sound whenever i just generally ride and it worsens when i do anything slightly harder that riding down your average street so now i have to send a claim to winstanleys for my money back!
so after all i didnt have to do anything crazy...it did it itself anyway :S ha!

The frame is bodging up, how? Could be you just need new bearings on the linkages.

yeah sounds like bearings, they are general wear items and wont be covered under warranty etc. unless there is a manufacturing flaw
