The Warranties
Assembly:
Your Zinn, Clydesdale, or Tui bike has been assembled with care by one of our seasoned professional bike mechanics and checked off by our team. If you chose to have your KHS bike assembled by our team, it is also covered by this warranty. We ensure all components are installed properly, shifting is tuned, brakes are bedded in, and brake calipers are centered and adjusted. We warranty the assembly of your bike for 3 months from the date of delivery. If you find any issues with the assembly of the bike, please submit a service request form here and we will determine if the issue is due to a mistake in assembly or due to normal riding. If you live on the Colorado Front Range or are in the area, you can bring your bike to our shop for service at any time. Be aware that bikes endure a great deal of vibration during shipping which can cause cables, bolts, and threaded components to loosen. It’s important to check the tightness of everything on the bike before the first ride, and it’s normal for shifting to need minor adjustments when the bike arrives. Bikes require regular maintenance, and failure to follow the maintenance guidelines outlined here will result in voiding the warranty on assembly and related components.
