Carbon frame crumbling

[Jason.T]

How big a crack was it?

About an inch maybe inch and a half

Well. Halfords are going to "inspect" it this morning. I managed to get the order number from a very nice lady on the phone as I cannot find the receipt. I mean really helpful, which was nice

Hope you get a good result.

I bought a bottom bracket from them once. The "mechanic" who was assembling a childs bike at the time had no idea what the spacers were for (I knew but was interested if he did).

Halford are replacing frame.
No questions asked, should be on tuesday.
The chap actually knew what he was talking about. Fingers crossed

 

[Brava210]

The chap said he will fit a rubber component to prevent this happening again, plus dry lube all the cables etc..

Sounds like a great result. Fair play to halfords

Thanks,
It was good to know who is actually doing the frame swap. and having a chat about it.
He said it will be perfect so I hope it will be.

Just an update really, the frame has been changed, nice job. No problems so far.....
It looks as if the cable entry points have been modified on this frame as it's slightly different. more flat edged than a round profile on the outside.
We will see

I realise that a Cervelo frame is more expensive than a Boardman but look at this as away it could be done
