I'm still waiting to hear. Thing is even if they replace it, now I'm going to worry about it happening again, and I firmly believe I shouldn't. I am 45 and don't ride crazy shit anymore. IMO a MTB needs to be tough enough to withstand minor falls like mine. Sure, it can get scrathed, or sustain other cosmetic damage, but it should remain safe and rideable after the type of minor falls that are so common in this sport. Personally after this experience, even if they replace it for free I'm thinking of selling the bike and picking up a Knolly Fugitive or something similar in Al to replace it.
