the seat on my Sectuer is wobbly, in that the seat moves independently of the rails about an inch forward an backward

ive tried tightening the screw by the rails but had no effect.

ive had the bike since October last year so less than a year old I've done about 1600 miles so far

should i write it off as a consumable item or do you reckon i try an get a replacement?

    I would ask for a replacement if you can be bothered as you can get a Charge Spoon for £15 these days.

    Don't get a Knife. They crack and Charge don't give a hoot. Fortunately, Wiggle refunded me. Had two snap in the middle, and a mate has had the same.

    I had a Knife for 3 years and it was great but they are too expensive for what they are. The Spoon's are fine.
