Yeti will probably sort you a deal either warranty of crash replacement

Check out the yetifan forum. Happens a lot to carbon chainstays, and always in the same place. If it's under warranty you should get a free replacement. If it's out of warranty they will usually supply a new rear end at a good discount. (Hint - get alu next time)

It happened to a friend and he didn't get a warranty replacement.

read Yetifan. Yeti seem to be amazing at sorting out warrenty rear triangles- about 3 days!- you can even request an Alu one.
Not heard of anyone not getting a warrently replacement before- i guess it was crashed.

If it failed it ought to be warrantied but if it was crashed/damaged then their crash replacement policy can help.

Give the guys at Evolution a call - they really are a helpful bunch.

Yeah it was crashed, but it was hardly a bad one, got the bike 2nd hand off ebay so think warranty could be an issue. Have had enough of Yeti to be honest, after this minor off think that they're really designed for mincers!
