Warranty

Policy

All Products are held to Manufacturer’s Policy and are reviewed with manufacturer on a case-by-case basis. Manufacturer warranties are to cover defects in materials or workmanship that occur within the normal lifespan and use of the product.    Although not fully required by all manufacturers, it is advised to have a bicycle professionally assembled by a mechanic. In many cases, proof of assembly will be required by manufacturer to submit a warranty claim. Obtain an assembly receipt as proof of professional installation.

Manufacturer Warranty does not apply to the following: 

  • Any part of a product that has been altered, repaired, misused, and improperly installed.  
  • Aftermarket parts that are not original to the bike 
  • Damage from unintended style of riding, abuse, neglect, accident, and racing 
  • Deterioration of the paint, appearance of the product; rust/corrosion due to environmental effects 
  • Wear and tear of any product (including but not limited to - saddles, grips, tires, tubes, cables, spokes, brake pads, wheel braking surfaces, chains, bearings) that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal riding 
  • Failure to provide regular maintenance of any product 
     

Additional Product Protections are treated separate from the Manufacture Warranty and are required to be filed with Protection Provider. 

Labor and shipping are the responsibility of the customer. We are not able to cover unauthorized parts purchased and labor performed by another bike shop unless stated otherwise by manufacturer.  
Due to evolution in product or availability, manufacturer may elect to provide credit for replacements or request a full return of product for reimbursement. 

Instructions

All claims are evaluated with the manufacturer of the item to determine the best course of action and get you serviced to the best of our ability. 

To start a warranty claim, the original owner must email our Warranty Team at Support@foundbikes.com. We want to make this a smooth process for you and help you in a timely manner, so please include the following: 

  1. Order Number (to confirm date of purchase and determine if the item is still under the manufacturer’s warranty time limit). 
  2. Detailed description of issue on hand and when it occurred. 
  3. Photographs or video (if issue is audible, video with sound is REQUIRED) 
  4. Written Serial Number (if multiple on frame provide all) 
  5. If built at a bike shop, provide the assembly receipt 

Serial Number

All bikes are engraved with a serial number under the frame, stamped on the bottom bracket shell. We do not save serial numbers for any order. It is the bicycle owner's responsibility to record the serial of their own bike.

We recommend registering your bike on the National Bike Registry to protect your investment and reduce the loss from bicycle theft.

Bike got stolen? Sorry bud, but this unfortunate incident is not covered by warranty. Please file a police report with your local law enforcement, which requires your bike's serial number.

Assembly and Day-to-Day Pro-Tips!

  • Tighten your lockrings, cranks, pedals, etc. before and after every ride. 
  • Stripped threads, cranks, pedals, etc. are due to those parts not being tightened enough or lubricated properly at installation and are not covered by warranty. 
  • Part’s preinstalled by manufacturer may require inspection, lubrication, and or tightening upon receiving. Loose or over-tightened bolts can lead to component damage or failure. 
  • Left and Right pedals/cranks are not threaded the same. Your Left Pedal is reverse tightens counterclockwise when looking at the crank arm head on. This is done for safety and not a defect.  
  • Tire pressure must be inflated to the recommended PSI, located on the sidewall of the tire. Having the right amount of air pressure helps prevent flats. Pump after every ride/week. 
  • Flats do occur from time to time. Inspect your tires regularly for debris you may have picked up on your recent rides. These are some of the more common flats seen outside of improper PSI.  
  • Make sure your brakes are adjusted properly and securely. This can be checked by squeezing brake lever to ensure they are grabbing. 
  • Never hurts to be precautious. Record your serial number, save the assembly receipt, and keep a photo of your complete bike saved somewhere in the event of emergency.
