I have owned a Softride Powerwing 700 since the early 2000's. I have owned dozens of bike since and the Softride is still my favorite bike to ride. Six months ago I started riding the Softirde exclusively. During my ride today I heard a creaking noise just below where my head is. When I lifted my weight off the beam it went away. Uh oh. I stopped and could tell there was play at the nose joint of the carbon beam. I finished the ride without placing much weight on the beam. Can this joint fail during a ride? I obviously will not ride the bike again until it can be fixed. This is the second beam on the bike and it is in great shape. Is there a way to fix this without buying a new beam? Can you even find a new beam for sale? Is there a way to reinforce this joint? I live and ride in Florida so there is a lot of sweat going on. I fear this might be the end of my softride. Any ideas.
