Well, I got a 2 year "we cover everything except punctured tires" warranty when I bought my bike for 40 bucks extra. It would have been more but since I bought an 08 model it dropped the overall price to a bracket below, therefore giving me the cheaper warranty... so in reality, I have nothing to worry about for 2 years. Literally take it in, drop it in front of them, walk out with no charge.
BUT, my concern is this hardtail may not be competition style, but I really dig it and it fits me perfectly. I plan to just keep replacing parts on it while using the same frame and whatever other parts are working. So beyond the 2 years I'm hoping Octalink will still be actively used.
Despite it being bitter cold, I bundled up and took a hard ride on the bike. I must say, DAAAANG it's pretty nice. The pedaling is ultra smooth and I feel no hesitation or "lagging" or any noises of any kind. I definitely dig the setup here.
How can I tell if I'm running Octalink V1 or V2?
