BLAH dreaded crack found on swingarm Blur LTC

[jpk1080]

I crossed my fingers and prayed it was a scratch but after opening my eyes again, it's most def. a crack. Damnit! Left a message with Willie. I hope its warrantied as I don't currently have the funds to replace it. This has been by far the most enjoyable bike I have ever owned.

Same here. Swing arm and lower pivot of front triangle. All under warranty and new frame on the way.

[jpk1080]

really your main frame cracked too?

[raycje5]

A circular crack around the pivot. There are pics just like it in another thread here somewhere.

Did you hear sounds coming from the bike or were you just looking around? Thats a bummer.

[mehukatti]

Could it be a matter of not using the grease gun often enough ie. pivot bearings getting stuck and causing the crack?

[jpk1080]

I honestly didn't notice anything untili took the rear tire off and inspected the frame.

Did you get a 142mm TA rear BLTc?

[raycje5]

No. I sent in a gloss black/silver 2010 paint job. Received a matte black '11 paint job 135 rear. I am pleased.

As requested.




The bike has been flawless up until this point. Can't wait to get back out there. Willie has been very helpful cross shipping me a new one.

Willie took care of me and I had a new swingarm within a week. Great service from the folks at santa cruz. Regarding the replaced swing arm; has anyone gotten one that was not clear coated? It's kind of strange my original one and mainframe were both clear coated but this new one doesn't appear to be. Thanks.
