I sent in my 1 1/2 yr old Fifth element (coil shock) to Vancouver for repair. There seemed to be a valve or seal gone, it would allow the two pcs of frame to knock together when you lifted the frame. Anyways, my bike shop calls and says that it's off warranty and it will be $100-$150 to fix.....ouch!!! I was pretty sure it woudn't have warranty but I was thinking it might cost $50.00, guess not!
