Hello all,

Just wanting some help really, I've had my Cotic BFE frame for around 4 months now from new and annoyingly, I've bent the mech hanger twice already. It's the slightly older model now without the replaceable mech hanger. My LBS has straitened the hanger both times with there park tools jig and they had told me that the mech hanger will only get weaker over time. Could this be a warranty issue with cotic and is anyone else in the same boat?

Thanks!

It will weaken the more it gets bent and straightened.

Not a warranty issue really if it was crash damage that caused it originally.

Had my BFe since Jan and this has not been a problem for me. Maybe invest in a shadow mech, if you don't already have one.

If you've bent your mech hanger, it's your own fault! Sorry! 😉

1000% not a warranty issue.

If it does break its not that hard or expensive to get a new one welded in my a frame builder. 🙂
