Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If you're the original owner, then in my experience with warrantying Dura-Ace stuff, they will cover it with no hassle.

well you have to have a proof of purchase (ie reciept) as with all warranties in order for it to be covered.
