P.3 frame warranty.

[Sobot_FR]

I have been told that if you change a DJ2's travel up to 130mm, instead of 110, they will void the warranty on the frame. Does anyone know if this is true???
Even if it is, I would like to change the travel on it, but does anyone know if it'll really hurt a P.3 frame?

Any input would be great.

Thanks.

i've heard 125mm is the cutoff, but i can't remember where i heard that. but specialized sent tremblay a P.3 with a 5" DJ1 so who knows. the extra 20mm would be nice for trails but for street you don't need it.

call the big S.

I know tremblay had a 5", but I'm just worried about the frame breaking, or I would break it just because of the extra travel.

And I used the interactive FAQ thing on their site, they still havent replied.:mad:

5" would not break the frame. the headtube area is like the beafiest part.

i heard if you go dirt jumping or urban it voids the warranty?

hehem I'm buying it tonight... and I'm keeping the frame, I was going to be getting a .243, but I like the frame, It looks a lot cooler in person, and rides like a dream, no 2 dreams:D

you bet. 2004, it looks sooo sweet in person, on the site it looks royal blue, it's really like dark navy greyish blue

I like it, I'll post pics of it later in the week

[eddiebrannan]

well check the warranty with the store when you buy it. that way you'll know for sure.

you definitely won't break it with a 5" fork

[cookedbananas]

a 5" couldnt hurt the P.3

not at all.

i am taking my dj1 down to 90mm, with a 5" dj its just to tall for me..dont worry about breaking your p3, i have a 2003 p2 and i weigh 230#, aint broker yet, i ride hard and crash hard...btw i have blown up 3 dj'ers on this bike ....3 different forks, now i am rigid, and i have a cromo fork off of a trek bruiser unti i get my dj1 cut down,,any way i have said too much....end transmission now.

I was gonna get last years P3 from my LBS and put a Jrt2 on it, and they said nothing about it so i doubt a 5'' dj would void the warrenty or possibly break the frame, but im not completely sure as i bought a bighit instead(becuase they were sold out of 2003s)

No it wont void the warranty at all. Weve actually set up a couple P.2s at the shop with Boxxer races (6"). Give'r!
