There were no stress cracks, no dents, nothing wrong with the frame as I had just had it fully serviced and picked it up three hours prior to the accident. These are the type of failures that made me start this blog. You can't tell me steel, aluminum or titanium fails like this <a href="https://srislawyer.com/trucking-accidents-lawyers/" rel="nofollow">trucking accidents lawyer</a>.

If your Raleigh frame is past its prime, it may be time for some TLC or maybe a replacement. Let me know if you need tips on repairs or suggestions for a new frame!.This is an intriguing post! I'm grateful to have discovered it.It's fantastic to see that people are still discussing this.It's also great that you incorporated references in your piece.<br /><a href="https://srislawyer.com/divorce-lawyers-roanoke-va-bedford-botetourt-amherst-montgomery-franklin-rockbridge-floyd/" rel="nofollow">Divorce Lawyers Roanoke VA</a>johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981028974349841175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253397448106886426.post-77517066031012970272022-01-10T01:47:12.309-08:002022-01-10T01:47:12.309-08:00You are travel lovers?

It isn't for them to say how it was busted, they don't know.<br />They're dishonest and their warranty is worthless. If I break my Loomis or even Fenwick fishing rod they give me a new one, period. No matter if I broke it over my knee or in a car door or on a fish. Because they stand by their warranty. Not Raleigh though.

I really enjoyed the bike as it is light and responsive. I road it in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon and another dozen times during 2009. However, in 2010, I was mashing up a hill in Sausalito (exerting significant force and torque) and the frame (between the crank and the rear derailleur) cracked :( <br /><br />I was really surprised considering that I had only ridden the bike 20 or so times. However, I was relieved when I remembered that Raleigh had lifetime warranty on the frame. <br /><br />Unfortunately, Raleigh will not replace my frame but instead wants to charge me for a replacement frame as they say that I "crashed" (judging from the crack). I always stored in my condo and took great care of it and NEVER crashed it. I am really bummed as I really liked the bike and really liked Raleigh (I had several Raleigh mountain bikes over the years). I will never buy a Raleigh bike again because of their customer service... they should take a leaf of Apple's customer service manual (it is no surprise that Apple is dominating the tech space).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946935122865879563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253397448106886426.post-36573254192711468682010-08-03T16:13:34.700-07:002010-08-03T16:13:34.700-07:00I've seen steel bikes break like this, but I&#...I've seen steel bikes break like this, but I'll grant you it was a manufacturer's mistake rather than a design feature. In this case, a major steel manufacturer seemingly forgot to braze a joint where the top tube met the headtube lug. Customer was descending a hill at full clip, hit a bridge at the bottom of the hill, and the top tube simply came apart. He had several tens of thousands of dollars in hospital bills as a result, and the manufacturer refused to so much as acknowledge a mistake. The case was settled out of court.<br /><br />Simiarly, a titanium bike was dragged into the shop about two months ago which had simply come apart on the downtube. Again, the manufacturer was at fault because of overheating, and the drilling out the frame at this point (where the cable bosses attach to the frame). Customer thought he had a flat, only to realize that the only thing holding the bike together were the shift cables, as the top tube would have simply buckled under his weight and the nominal stress from descending. This time, the customer was rewarded with a brand-new 6700-equipped carbon bike from the manufacturer.<br /><br />So while I agree that carbon caries increased and inherent risks, failure like this can happen to all materials used in frame construction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253397448106886426.post-38193890711521199922010-06-21T11:19:50.143-07:002010-06-21T11:19:50.143-07:00I would also blame the bar tape.I would also blame the bar tape.Dave Shishkoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296571186918610184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253397448106886426.post-52697948140303534282010-06-19T19:56:28.447-07:002010-06-19T19:56:28.447-07:00I have had an aluminum frame fail like this, and I...I have had an aluminum frame fail like this, and I've had friends with aluminum forks (and those old Klein stem/handlebar combinations) that have similarly failed -- but never steel, it's true.
