Bust E-Sommet

[Stuart569]

If anyone knows of someone breaking a 2019 e-sommet please let me know. Bent my rear chainstay.

Does anyone know if the 2018/2019/2020 e-sommet frames are the same? Could I use the chainstay from a 2018/2020?

2018 - 2020 frames are exactly the same.
ESentier rear stays may well also be.

Have you contacted CRC/Wiggle or Vitus directly?

Yeah... Will see what they say. Was just on the off chance a 2018 or 2020 came up second hand and CRC/Vitus are unhelpful

Might be able to get it repaired, might be worth finding a decent metalworker/fabricator local to you

Don't think I would be comfortable giving it full send on a repaired frame. If CRC aren't able to help I'll pick up a second hand e-sommet, utilise what bits I need, then sell the rest and probably won't be much worse off. There's a 2019 in Northern Ireland just now for 2250 which I would have if its wasn't for it being there

17 days after they picked it up CRC have came back and have said it cannot be saved. They've offered a full refund and 30% off another bike. Cannot fault them. Now just need the E-Sommet VRX to come in stock

That's the finest crash replacement policy in existence! It's almost sponsorship!

It's a service I've supplied. I've shown them vulnerabilities in their design?
