Hi guys and gals,
Ive just come back from giving the Hifi a good thrashing round Afan, and I had a stupid low speed spill, which resulted in a dink in the left hand carbon seat stay. Anyway, it cracked, and needs replacing. Luckily its a bolt on part and not an entire rear triangle!
I consulted the manual and warrenty card, and Fisher say about their crash replacement scheme which says they will sell the replacements for a greatly reduced price.
So the LBS got on to Trek today, and i've been quoted £200 for a pair of seatstays, as apparently they dont sell them individually :shock:
Am I being bent over a barrel and being royally rogered? Or does this all sound about right? If im honest, if i'd known how expensive these would have been to replace i'd have opted for a Lapierre :?
Cheers

sounds like they're stiffing you a bit tbh. I'd contact them directly and quote their crash replacement policy to them as 200 doesn't sound like they're doing you any favours at all, plus it's disingenuous of them to insist on selling you a pair as crash replacement for only one.Everything in moderation ... except beer

Can you get alloy ones? Might be a better bet.0

Well I've had concerns that they may be creaming a bit off the top. I've tried to find a phone number to no avail, so I've fired an email to them on their website. I'll let you know the outcome0

hmm... alloy ones. interesting!0

No even on the base model they're carbon!0

Probably a long time too late, but I have a couple of Carbon seat stays available for a 2009 26'' Hifi Pro0
