Ben's Cycle and the Milwaukee Bicycle Co. stand behind every product we offer.

Limitation Of Warranty

The warranty does not apply to any part of a product that has been installed, altered, repaired, or misused in any way (including, but not limited to - accident, misuse, neglet, abuse or improper maintenance) that, in the opinion of Ben's Cycle and the Milwaukee Bicycle Co., would affect the reliability or detracts from the performance of any part of the product, or is damaged as the result of use in a way or with equipment that had not been previously approved by Ben's Cycle and the Milwaukee Bicycle Co.

The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear of any product or the failure of the customer to provide regular maintenance of a product. In other words, the warranty will NOT cover the damages to any product after a period of normal use. In addition, the warranty will not cover the damages to any product due to the failure of the customer to provide regular maintenance to that product (ie. regular greasing and tightening). The warranty does not apply to paint or other normal “wear and tear” items such as seats, grips, tires, tubes, cables, brake pads, chains....

The warranty does not apply to any products or parts where the serial number or the serial number of any of its parts has been altered, defaced, or removed.

The warranty does not cover damage or loss incurred in customer transportation of the product.

The warranty does not cover replacement or repair necessitated by loss or damage from any cause beyond the control of Ben's Cycle and the Milwaukee Bicycle Co., such as lightning or other natural and weather related events or wartime environments.

The warranty does not cover any labor involved in the removal and/or reinstallation of warrantied equipment or parts on site, or any labor required to diagnose the necessity for repair or replacement.

The warranty does not cover any shipping whatsoever.

A Final Note About Frame Care…

It is recommended and even strongly advised that any steel frame (including ours) is disassembled once a year to have the inside of the frame re-coated with "Frame Saver". Since steel is a ferrous metal, it will corrode (rust) and will slowly deteriorate your frame over time if this is not done. We frame save every frame prior to shipment (you'll notice a oily tar coming from the bottom bracket, head tube area or drain holes) and this treatment typically lasts around 2 years. But if you ride your bikes like we do, in all of nature's elements we recommend re-coating every year just to be safe. Rust is not covered under our warranty and it is up to you to take good care of your Milwaukee bicycle.
