I have a 2007 Raleigh Team carbon frame that the top seat tube water bottle bolt is frooze in the insert and when you try and remove the bolt the insert wants to turn with it.

The frame has a life time warranty and after talking to Raleigh about the problem they said this would be covered. I would have to remove everything from the frame and take the frame to a local dealer and he would have them mail it to Raleigh for repairs free of charge.

Is it worth breaking the bike down and sending it off to get this fixed, or just live with it like I have been?

What would you do?

Thanks

if you need that bolt out, and it's free, i'd send it in.

This is one Id let someone else do, and if Raleigh will do it, I'd let them. That is too nice of a bike to let that stay like that. I am impressed they are actually giving you that good of customer service without hassling you over it. I'd definitely consider a Raleigh on my next road bike.

I'd probably do it. Can you break the bike down yourself or would you have to pay someone?
