Oof…I guess that whole “Magnesium Comeback” thing was a bit premature…

I learned about the recall at lunch and they are shipping a replacement Niner Aluminum frame tomorrow.

I’ve been riding this frame since I bought it in 2022, even took a crash on it.. that blows. Love the color and weight.

Ooft very nearly got one of these! The magnesium frame had me super interested, and it was heavily discounted at Decathlon online. Didn’t get my cycle to work scheme on time and ended up with a different bike.
Maybe I dodged a bullet.

Thanks for the heads up. I have one of these in the shop right now.

I have an affected bike, the Rival AXS model. Have only ridden it about 1100 miles so far, a mix of light gravel and road, but it’s been a great bike.
I just checked my frame over and don’t see anything concerning, but if it’s prone to cracking it’s best to replace it before there’s an issue. Not super excited about the niner frame, but I’ll figure out what to do once I get the replacement frame and have a look at it..
I’m almost inclined to sell that and get a different frameset to build up with the components from the vaast

Will be selling the replacement frame for a titanium, steel, or carbon one, and relegating the frame (and various components I have laying around) to bike trainer duty.
