  • A carbon frame made for $300 and sold for $1000-3000 and more shouldn't be so poorly made and if it is it should be accepted as defective and replaced, not covered up and avoided.

    Isn't that exactly what happens with a warranty though?

  • Cervelo engineers (Rinard?) changed their published tolerance +/- for their BB to avoid warranty claims to such an extent I think it was SKF said you could not use their bearings in such a poorly specced bearing seat as it would kill the bearings.

  • Is that an engineering or financial decision though?

  • I don't see how adjusting documented tolerances works though. If the bike is piss it would go back to the shop. If shops around the world have to deal with all these returns, presumably they will stop selling these bikes because they're more trouble than they're worth, then what?
    Or do people just keep buying them hoping something changes?
