...turns out that I didn't just dent the rear end of my RS7, I bent the stay and now the rear end is out of alignment and the wheel is on the piss.

2 weeks to next race and 16 months left to pay for it.

🙁 Not much to say really just needed to vent.

Ouch, what did you do to it? Warranty or crash replacement?

Bin'd it practising race track at hopton for round 3 of the pearce series. Just slammed hard and the bike landed on a rock / stump - just dented the drive side seat stay - turns out that its bent as well and now the wheel is out of alignment.

Crash replacement rear end is 700ish and a 3-4 week wait minimum.

Unfortunately I was just keeping it until I could sell it to help fund buying a V10c.

Now that isn't an economically viable option 🙁

Only had it 4 months too. First new DH frame in over 6 years.

2010 Sucks big time. Took a 20% pay cut to keep my job in march so no hope of anything new anytime soon. Car is dying slowly and using more fuel than a fighter jet at mach 2. Being sued by some dickhead who drove in to me on a roundabout which my insurance company have ****ed me right over on.Bah etc.

Any one want to buy a kidney? Or a soul? One owner, slightly tarnished. Will trade for a V10c.
