Frame" to change or not to change

silverfridge · 2006-01-21, 02:16 PM

When i said there was a problem with my Qu-ax 24, where one fork is longer than the other, it is a problem it was made with, and now i can either send it back, or have a tilt in the wheel, which will not do anything to affect the uni at all except if a bit of dirt gets stuck in, it would have a little less space than the other side, but i don't wan't to have to miss out unicycling any longer than i have to
so here is the question:

1. Should i send it back, and get a "better" one

2.Or keep my old one, with a harmless fault,

bear in mind i did pay $515, and for that price i would expect it to be perfect, but are slight differences in forks a common thing, in manufacturing?

I don't think is possible to buy a Qu-Ax for $515, where did you buy it from, New Zealand? Sorry if i burst your bubble but you got riped.

If one frame leg is only a tiny bit shorter than the other, try makeing a shim out of a pop can. Cut a little stip of metal and put it in the top of the bearing holder that is on the short side to straighten things out.

Bush mechanics.

Get out there and ride your new uni.

Cheers Dave

Send it back. Call them and ask to have the shipping credited to your credit card. They should do that. They are responsible.
