  • I broke my bike, will Specialized fix it?
    I notice a creaking noise coming from the bottom bracket of my hardtail mountain bike, a Specialized Fuse 27.5+.
    Upon inspection, I noticed there was a crack in the frame by the chainstay and bottom bracket weld.
    I contacted Specialized and was directed to file a warranty claim through my local bike shop.

    Thank you for posting. Having just ordered my first Specialized (after the suggestion of a friend who is a 40+ year bike mechanic) this is reassuring. I haven't ridden in about 15 years -so many changes! Tubeless tires, single chainring drivetrains, thru-axles, dropper posts, etc!

    That's really good service to replace the whole bike! Other companies would warranty the frame and leave it up to you to deal with incompatible parts between the old frame and new frame.

    Yes they will. Broke my swing arm on my Epic Evo. On June 6th took my bike to the bike store where I bought it. That was June 7th. Got my new swing arm and bike back June 19th. Yes specialized does honor their warranty. Definitely will buy a Specilizrd bike again. Great service.

    Fuse Comp is an expensive hard tail. Think Stumpjumper next time. Glad it worked out for you and your back in the saddle.

      Specialized swapped the whole bike for another whole bike. I traded it in at a licensed dealership.

    Nice !
    my Specialized also have cracked frame but we don't have Specialized in my country and i got it second hand.
    MTB's and other bikes are so expensive now in my country , i don't think i can even get one now !

    • @MichianaMadman
      @MichianaMadman  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is terrible! If this wouldn't have been covered under the warranty, I was going to take it to a welder to see if they were able to fix it.

      @@MichianaMadman That was what i was thinking but i think my bike is 6XXX series aluminum !
      and they need to be heat treated and we don't have any place that would do that for a just one bike frame in Sri Lanka !
      and there are only 2 places in my district that would do Tig welding
      (others have closed down the businesses or have just left for other countries )
      i'm looking at other was to get it fix and if i do fix it i may make a video of it !
      i was thinking of making a steel frame using the same measurement from my bike but i found out that you need a Tig welder for welding chromoly steel just like aluminum :(
