Went out for a ride today that was cut VERY short. Went off a small (1.5 foot) drop with a nice runout and snapped the linkage on my Meta 5. I hope I have attached some pics.
Of course, it is just past the warranty stage (if it is 2 years). Purchased it Sept. 11, 2006.
Does anyone know if these can be purchased as replacements? I remember a thread where Steve B said something about the new linkage was capable of fitting the older models. Hopefully this is true and I can get another asap.
Hope everyone enjoys riding this weekend cause I won't be.

Hi mate. You can indeed get replacements. The linkage plates (The stronger, beefed up ones) cost £99 if I remember rightly. Give me a bell at the shop and I'll order one for you. www.bikeactive.com

Just out of interest I've noticed a few posts around about damaged swing arms around the drop outs, if s**t were to happen would it be possible to get a replacement swing arm?

Thanks for the info. I am in Canada so I will try and sort myself out here but if I can't, do either of you ship overseas?

Not officially but something can be sorted out.
