I think my dealer hates me.

So, I took my 06 Kona Hoss CROSS COUNTRY bike (keep that in mind) to the dealer for a free tune up. I pick it up the next day and he tells me "looks like its gettin some good use, what kind of stuff do you do?" I tell him "I do a lot of cross country trails" he says "cool" I go on to say "and dirt jumps, and free ride, and drops, and oh yeah, I take it to the skate park once and a while" He looks at me like he's havin a heart attack and says "well how big of jumps?" I just tell him "like 10-15 feet gaps, nothin too big" and the look on his face was priceless. Anyways, just thought I'd share that cause I thought it was pretty funny.

BTY, my bike is in good condition, I dont do anything that will do serious damage. At least not to my bike.

Exactly what I was thinking. If / when you snap your frame you may want to find another dealer to take it to.

Exactly right. I would never tell someone at a shop if I was using my bike past what it was meant for. If you come in w/ something to be warrentied, your screwed. Now if you hadn't told them, they would have no proof how you were using it.

Don't worry, the reputation and reliability of your Kona speaks for itself
