Oops 2, THE RETURN OF THE KILLER OOPS!

Hey there, I just got a new saddle and set of pedals for my Torker Dx
'06 today! I got to ride around for awhile for the first time in
about 2 weeks . ALL OF A SUDDEN... The seatpost broke off of the
fork! This is the second time this has happened and I don't
have a recipt so I can't send it back to Torker and this welder guy
says that it is not fix-able. What fairly cheap munis (other then
Torker) are out there that will stand up to -real extreme- muni(steap
rough terrain, over 6' drops,jumping up on to high stuff
etc.)? Thanks ever so much, Goats

How/were did the seat post break? It would be better to get a stronger
seat post than replace the whole unicycle just because the seat post
broke.

You don't need a reciept to get it fixed.

I was jumping up on a stump(only about 1'). It broke right were the
seatpost comes onto the fork. This happened before and We had it
welded back together but the metal was so thin that it broke off again.
There wasn't anything wrong with the weld. It's not fix-able now.

The people at torker said I did . They also said that the
warrenty was void because "...it was soposed to be assembled by an
authorized Torker dealer...". I didn't see anything about that when we
bought it though.

Yeah, you should be able to just email Torker (regardless of where you
bought it) and tell them what happened. Complain about how a $260
unicycle should be able to hold up to more than a few drops, and that
you've heard about how other people's frames have broken the same way.
Tell them that you want a replacement frame shipped to you, and you'll
get it.


EDIT: (a bunch of people posted while I was typing this)
Maybe welding the frame back together would have voided the warranty. I
dont know. I did have a set of cranks break once, and I 'complained'
and they sent me a new set of cranks & pedals, no charge.

What is Torker's e-mail adress? Looking on all the sites and can't find
it anywhere.
