what kickstand is best

[Dave Whittle Thorn Workshop]

So, for the avoidance of doubt, if the original owner had a rear kick stand fitted and there was a problem elsewhere on the frame and unrelated to the kickstand, the lifetime warranty would still be valid and the claim upheld?

Thats entirely correct, we are reasonable people, even where the customer has been proven to be at fault we have always offered a more favorable reply that "tough" (be this discounted labour/part etc).

Hope this clarifies.

Crystal.

Thanks for taking the effort to reply and removing the ambiguity of warranty when fitting a rear kick stand.

Common sense should tell you when it's being overloaded / strained, but sadly, that's short on the ground these days.

Mind you, if the ex climbed on my bike, that could well invalidate the warranty if you saw the state of her now.

I don't know if I'm luckier to own the RST or be shut of her - a close call!!

Have a good weekend y'all.

Dont come to us with any warranty claims on that Deore crank cap

I'm sure the Sri Lankan farmer assured me it was a Thorn approved item however he may also have been saying "would you like some of this tasty alcoholic coconut drink?"

I have approached the worldwide stick ombudsman enclosing the following video

They said even if somebody had an earlier claim to this patent I would have the rights for pure devotion to the cause.
