Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

So far I have not encountered any problems with PX, only PL.

Did you also buy a PX ?

Is your PL fixed ?

Was it an authorized dealer? That’s the key here. Amflow isn’t helping people who purchase off alibaba stores.

Seller not responding to your messages tells me probably not authorized.

Yep, I noticed the OP said, "I've bought mine in Hong Kong. So it's the Chinese version. The seller just doesn't respond to my messages."


It sounds like someone imported a genuine AMflow that was intended for the Chinese/Hong Kong market and resold it internationally. The bike itself is probably authentic, but it wasn't sold through the authorized dealer network in your country. A lot of manufacturers won't honor warranty claims or provide support outside the original sales region. He probably saved some money upfront, but now he's finding out what the tradeoff is. That's one of the biggest reasons I don't buy expensive, hard-use equipment from unauthorized sellers or in gray markets.

No, I have a PL. I just haven't seen this issue mentioned with the PX. But they have a completely different matrix.

I just got the crack on PL at the end of last week and am now waiting for a response from the dealer.

The world is much larger than the Amflow network of dealerships. Why can't you accept this?

Also, why aren't you considering the service option in China with the author of this post? Since he received his bike from China, he could also send it back to China and get a replacement there. As I understand it, the problem isn't with the author's location, but with the manufacturer's policies and the seller's behavior.

I don't have that problem, but I can understand that person.

Also, for some reason, many focused their conversations on the author, although the problem of cracks is much more pressing due to its widespread nature.
