While prepping my bike for Leadville, I completely screwed up and managed to strip the hex head of the shock mount bolt. I subsequently used an easy out to get some grip on the bolt and start applying some rotational torque. In doing so, I missed the fact the bolt could be seized in the shock bushing 🙁 So while I thought I turning the bolt out, I was implying “pushing” the back of the shock stay outward, and it cracked the frame 🙁
Sweating I reached out to Canyon, explained the situation, and they kindly warranted it! Part of the claim process was to destroy the old frame so after ~ 4,814 miles, it’s gone in the trash can. Some good memories on this bike for sure!
