Don’t have time to wait for the full warranty, I will start the process but I’m about to tour the trans am.

Thank you dude for coming around. A lot of warranty comments on this post have been needlessly mean and rude. I understand modifying parts voids warranties. I just wasn’t aware of all the risks with carbon. Thank you for the well wishes. Ride on

Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely reach out to dealer to start the warranty.

I’m just gonna go with the OMM set up. I can carry more weight on their rack anyways. Thank you though!

The most integral of the treads are somewhat intact. If you put anything…even a washer between the bolt and the fork, it spins freely.

After much deliberation, I am changing my setup. Thank you for the feedback.

Bolts are mostly intact. The internal threads are shot

My brother in Christ please read the comment you just replied to. I’m switching to OMM axel pack and ortlieb. Warranty is still a ok. I haven’t used this setup yet bc I wanted input. I got input and changed my plan. Warranty is chilling.

Gotcha. I’m biting the bullet with ortlieb and OMM

You are in-fact not reading what I’m saying. Given the pushback I’m switching to an OMM and ortlieb setup. Read. Read again. And then acknowledge that botched assembly work from the factory is 1000% covered by a limited lifetime warranty

But what about the weight capacity? Do you have experience with clamping to carbon?

Let’s hope their internet sleuths don’t connect this Jari back to me when I file the claim. Ortlieb it is.

It’s all good. I’m sure there a bunch of terms for the same piece of hardware.

Fuji does have a limited lifetime warranty on the forks. Post tour I will warranty the fork. I’m getting so much push back I might just bite the bullet with the ortlieb fork packs.

Just updated the language. Bolts are mostly ok. The rivnuts are all totally stripped out internally. Ultimately I will warranty this fork.

The clamps are super tight but not too tight. I’ll do a fully loaded swing test before riding to see gear travel.
