Hey at least they offered to pay for the parts that blew! Unfortunately bikes
are machines that need maintenance if you want that silky smooth ride. I've
heard that forks on new bikes don't always come with the correct amount of oil
in them, so maybe that contributed to the issue? It seems like five or six
months of hard riding would be just about the right time to get a rebuild if
you've really put 30+ hours on the fork. I've got about 6 months on my new
Kona and have had to warranty the shock + rear linkage (cracked) so I
understand your pain!
