Does UDC have a warranty on there products?
I bought a 2007 nimbus X freestyle uni just over a week ago. I
assembled it taking great care that the pedals were on the right side
(as I know it is easy to strip the thread if they are fitted
incorrectly) then after riding it for a day I removed the pedals (which
were fine) one at a time, applied locktight and then fitted them back
on tightened them up then leaving them over night.
But a couple of days ago I notest my left pedal wobble slightly. I
hopped off straight away and gave it a wobble and sure enough it was
loose. I went up to my garage again and put a turn on it (not the bird
) It was stiff trying both ways, this made me worried, knowing there
wasn’t much that could be done if it was stripped or cross threaded I
tried it again and this time it just span and did not tighten. I
stopped there and went out to practice my ww and gliding and to gather
my thoughts.
After a good session I went back up to the garage with one thing on my
mind, remove the pedal. I span it and span it and span it but it did
not move, just got looser. Knowing the crank was aluminum and the pedal
was sure to be stronger I hopped at least the pedal would be fine and
that hopefully I could just get a replacement crank.
I got the pedal off and it appears fine apart from some aluminum from
the crank stuck in the thread (hopefully I can remove this) the crank
however is completely stripped
Do you know if there is a warranty on the nimbus unicycles that will
cover this? I will pay for a new crank (and maybe pedal) if I have to
but seeing as there was nothing I have done wrong I believe I shouldn’t
have to.
What are your thoughts?
