God damnit, that was an expensive ride.
Now I’m trying to find one identical to this so I can use it for parts. I just hope this isn’t a common issue with this frame and that I just got unlucky with mine.
Would’ve been an easy fix if the frame were steel - but from what I understand, welding isn’t really an option with these alloy frames.
That’s a manufacturer’s defect and should be covered under warranty.
Is your tire rubbing on the frame or am I hallucinating?
I bought it used. It’s no longer under warranty.
That’s my fender.
The frame sometimes has a separate longer warranty from the other parts of the bike.
I know specialized has lifetime warranties on their frames if they fail under normal use. A frame is not supposed to break, ever, unless you do something seriusly bad to the bike.
Well, doesn’t hurt to message them and ask I guess. It’s just that this is a kind of weird brand (GZR Black Raw) and when I google it pretty much the only search result is for the store it is bought from.
Nonetheless I have my doubts about the tire clearance here.
Looks fine to me. OP is using a section of tire as a fender, which screwed with my head trying to parse the image for a bit, but the actual tire looks to clear the frame just fine.
I don’t.
