Islabike-Broken part

[The Dwaff Family]

Thanks Fossyant and all others, now I know exactly what that part does and doesn't do I am fine and learning all the time! Now just hope the part arrives and can be fitted before his race this Saturday!

I had not known the meanings behind the names either so thanks to those for enlightening me, is alway's interesting to know.

On another note, OH says I will have to sell his Cnoc after Xmas but I don't want to, will have only had it 6 months and would rather keep hold of it for him to use about the village etc, is his first baby, how could I part with it?

Islabikes do run a buy-back scheme for when your child moves up a size. Have you heard of it? I am told that they don't make the world's most generous part exchange allowance, but at least you have a confirmed sale without the hassle of a buyer messing you around.

User is right, is absolute madness just how much money you can fetch back for them on Ebay, £50 more and you could go buy a new one!! If I had to then I owuld probably offer it at his bike club first.

Part arrived and due to be fixed on Saturday, think I know what's happened now. There were 2 ridges inside for the steering lock, he's gone round quite hard I guess and the ridges inside have then broken the cup, just means he has no steering lock, very please how good Islabikes have been in sending out the part, that's what makes a company good, how they deal with problem's when they arise, definitely top notch!

Yep, you'll have no trouble selling them on, getting hold of a second hand one requires seriously developed divining powers. Virtually depreciation proof
