I was out riding my Marin Rocky Ridge towards Sandy hills this evening, when
there was a bit of a twang, then alot of graunching as the back wheel
suddenly locked!
It looks like a couple of spokes have broken, got caught in the chain or
the cassette, snapping the replaceable rear mech hanger. The damage appears
to be restricted to the broken spokes and rear mech hanger but there is also
cosmetic damage to the frame and rear mech.
The bike was bought new in August this year from ATB sales, the importers
and has only covered 490 miles.
My question to you all is: Are broken spokes normally covered by a new bike
warranty and can I expect the subsequent damage and the cosmetic damage to
be covered as well?
TIA John.
p.s. Once sorted, how do I stop this happening again?
