Took my first road spill a couple weeks ago (car pulled out, brakes slammed, and since there was no bike lane it was either the car next to me or the curb, and I chose the latter). Anyway, the SX’s busted pretty good and sliced my cheek, so I called RUDY in hopes that I could at least get replacement lenses and maybe find some frames on eBay.
They asked me to send the whole thing in, and they’d swap out the broken arm, as well as replace the lenses (for $14.95, which is standard)-I just got them back-- they gave me a brand spankin’ new pair! How cool is that?
Maybe the blood on the frames did it, who knows? They’ve got me evangelizing about it, so add them to my list of preferred companies, up there with Nordstrom and Peet’s Coffee.
On an aside, is there a recommended method to repair holes in one’s bib shorts? I had a rather nice, new pair of Santini Gel bibs, but they now sport 2 tears in the quad. Any advice?
