Onza Kieron Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hey, I have Echo Urban's 07 disc only, do they have any kind of warrenty because I have just noticed a fracture along the left leg on the welds? I bought from Tarty if that matters, also I'm going to Barcelona on the 12th so obviously I need sorting by then, reckon is possible?

Luke Rainbird Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Bit of a hijack here, but is there much difference between the '06 and '07 Urbans?Think the '07s have a thicker steerer again, but is there anything else?Did the '06s have the cracking trouble the new model have?

Greetings Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I think most Deng parts have a warranty, for instance frames are 12 months for U6 alloy and 6 months for 6061 alloy.So yeah, you should get them replaced especially as they shouldn't brake in that area. If you snapped a steerer from doing hooks it would blatantly be your fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Gibson Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 When you buy a pair of forks or frame fromt Tarty they give you a warranty. Ring the in the morning. Get some fattys mate, BEST forks ever, had mine for like ever! NO problems whats so ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ok I shall do, and yeah, I'd buy Fattys but they are very very hard to come across and I have decided 3 pairs later forks aren't an ideal thing to purchase second hand, hence buying new then this..Ah well, thanks for the help, no doubt one of the team will of seen this before I contact them.

Janson Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 send them back to tarty, i keep having to as mine keep doing exactly the same thing. its because the metal is too thick and cannot flex enough so is brittle and cracks, apparently... also big discs dont help. i think im on my 3rd pair of 07 deng forks in 4months... they are cracked again now too... i think ill be getting a vee brake as its getting rediculasMaybe time to get some decent forks instead of changing the brake?I've had my Smartguys for over 2 years i believe...

Onza Kieron Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'm considering changing forks, might give the Zoo!'s a whiz, they look quite burly and pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I had the same thing happen to my Urbans.Apparently there was a manufacturer fault, where they took away too much weld - which is why they are cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
