Luckily the axle didn't bend, no. But the linkage plates gave up after about 3 months, so this bit lasted a tad longer (2 years)

thats strange, mine lasted 2yrs too. almost to the day. I also met someone else from this site (recognized his bike from r.m.r section) at cwmcarn and his 2006 stinky snapped in the same place that day too. It was about 2 weeks after i snapped mine. Maybe 2006 was a bad year for buying a stinky...

I bent my QR skewer when mine snapped. +£15 quid to the repair.

luckily the deemax have a fat bolt-up at the rear, i think thats whats still holding it together, lol. You know what dude, it gets stranger, mine was almost 2 years exactly to the day like you. Try and ask that other guy how long his lasted, might help make a case for arguing the point with them.
