We must be notified in writing within 30 days of discovering any defect. The warranty only covers manufacturer’s defects. The warranty will be void if the defect is directly related to personal misuse, abuse, alteration, modification, improper assembly, improper maintenance. Things like driving into your garage with the bike still in the rack on top of your car or practicing Evil Knievel tricks on your bike are not covered under this warranty. In cases similar to those listed in the previous sentence, we’ll work with you and do our best to find a solution to fix your bike, but it won’t be covered under warranty.

Components from other manufacturers are not covered under Bingham Built Inc’s warranty policy. There is a good chance the component manufacturer will have a warranty policy. We’ll do what we can to help you file a claim through the component manufacturer or order new parts for you if needed.
