Wright Pads Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Okay so at the Bike Show 05 i bought a set of Echo Urbans off Tim @ Echo/Zoo-X-street i aint so sure what there really called. Noticed that i've cracked the disc mount yesterday. Latter on in the day noticed loads of flex. Checked disc bolts, disc, caliper etc etc all okay, turns out it's the forks, ie streera tube. This morning fitted my old Onza Tuff Guys and went out front and played around and in the workshop, no problems, re-fitted the Echos and got ''CREAKING'' and flex. Switch over again to Onza's no issues. Gutted as the Onza's aint pretty to look at in all honestity.So who is the man to go to get a warranty?? Phill, Adam & Dave, Tim (if i can get hold of him, no luck yet)?I ride a coust and duno what forks next to get...I just put my carbons on to see what it look like and i'm not so sure now, see for you self! Okay so they do need the dropout making up which has fallen through of someone doing them for me, well gutted. Was thinking of Hi-fi's maybe and Waynio said the new Zoo's are the ******* to use!What you says? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza Kieron Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Bike looks f****** lush with them forks, looks hard to ride though. Go for Fatty's, i don't think i've ever heard of any snapping. Or the new ZOO!'s a mate has some and they're canny burly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick_spider Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 The warranty is between you and the people you bought them from... nothing to do with Phil. He may help you out, but you need to get hold of Tim.I'm sure his contact details will be on your receipt.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 They're over 6 months old though, so you've got no chance of warranty anyway Pete. I'm pleased with my Hi-Fi's, they're incredibly stiff, and seem to be holding out alright. The 9mm disk mount seems pretty solid too, but it will need to be faced. Mike.

Modified Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) I'd go for some Hi-Fi's, they look good enough, or some Fattys, I haven't seen any of them snap yet.Modified Edited December 29, 2005 by Modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Erm warranty is for 12 months, 1 year, 365 or 366 day per leap year.
