I would give them a call Posted by Bill Homer [Email] (#3427) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bill Homer) on Mon, 22 Mar 2010 08:56:48 In Reply to: Re: Have you tried a warranty claim with Easton?, jonathan, Mon, 22 Mar 2010 06:36:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
From Easton's website extolling the virtues of their one-piece monocoque fork construction:
"One-piece forks, as the name
implies, are made as one continuous
laminate. All components
of the fork are molded and then
cured at the same time.
This method requires more
tooling, a higher level of skill in
laminate design, and better
process control. It takes longer
to lay-up a monocoque fork
than a two- or three-piece fork.
The biggest advantage of the
one-piece fork is the elimination
of the joints between the
individual components. The
fork is only as strong as it joints
which are dependent on the
integrity of the glue/adhesive.
The laminate in a one-piece
fork starts at the bottom of the
fork and builds all the way to
the top of the steering tube.
There are no joints to bond or
join — or fail. Monocoque forks
perform better in both impact
and fatigue tests."
So much for "no joints to bond or join - or fail". They have a phone number listed for a stem recall, perhaps they can help you: 1-866-892-6059. Remember that this is a SAFETY ISSUE, not a minor annoyance.
