Can you give me any advise as to how I should get them to make my frame right?
Thank you,

Just seen your post Adam and noted there was no reply from Loken. Disappointing after all the interest and help given to him from
Campag4life and others from this Forum, on his own problem. Noticed no pics of the finished bike as promised either.... Maybe just an innocent case of not checking his emails?
Anyway...the reason for me jumping in on this thread is that I also have an identical problem on the non drive side BB of my son's 2013 Scott Foil 20. Quite a serious case of wobble though, with 0.3mm of wear on the diameter. The drive side is fine and has to be knocked out to remove. It appears that this is becoming a rather widespread problem with the Foil.
Although my son bought it second hand from the previous owner(a well known British Paralympic no less!), we feel strongly that this is a design problem that should be addressed by Scott and I have started the ball rolling already with a recent phone call to our local Scott dealer. Its going to be a long drawn out battle I know, as I realise that technically the Warranty is only supposed to lie with the original owner only. However, I don't feel that we should be in this position with a relatively expensive bike only 18 months old, regardless of whether we were the second owner or not.
Should we have luck on our side and Scott honour their Warranty with a new frame, I will certainly be taking Campag's advice and epoxy a new bearing in and if I fail in my claim, will also try it on the old frame as I wouldn't have anything to lose. I wont be trying this method however until this is sorted out with Scott as I'm really not so sure it will be a permanent fix with the extent of the wear I have. Also, if I find it hasn't worked, it would complicate matters if I then tried to push for a claim afterwards.
Be interested to know how you got on with yours.
