hia chaps i have a rockhopper disc, and ive had it for around 2 months! on the way home today i heard a crunch and got off and seen that theres 3/4 spokes broken on the inside of the wheel where the crank is, would this be covered in the warranty?? its only been used on the road a little off road but only cycle tracks, surley its covered in the warranty the bike was purchased from freewheel in nottingham

there are no spokes by the cranks.
sounds odd. take it in. wheels should not just self distruct."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

That's the Hub.
The cranks are what your pedals attach onto.

Should be covered by warranty. But if you have given it a fair crack, or ridden it knowing they are loose, then no.0

as i have said many times it is up to the bike producers/importers.
yes they may replace/fix/sort the proble but they may say it has been abused etc...
take it back to the shop it was bought from with the proff of purchase and ask."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
