At e*thirteen, we design and build world-class bicycle components. While we go to great lengths to perfect our products through meticulous manufacturing and engineering processes, defects can still occur.
If you have an issue, the first thing to remember is to stay calm. We understand that despite our best efforts, you may have issues with the performance component you purchased. We’re here to help no matter the circumstance.
If you are an original owner and experience a problem with your product from defects in material or workmanship, your product will be repaired or replaced free of charge for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase.
Exceptions:
- Carbon rims carry a lifetime warranty.
- Bearings carry a one (1) year no questions asked warranty - this includes bottom brackets and hubs.
- Vario Dropper Posts carry a lifetime warranty for cartridges and some wear components.
You’ll need an original purchase receipt whether for a complete bike or individual component.

Crash Replacement
We know that everyone crashes sometimes. Since we’re just as accident prone as you, we think it’s important to offer a generous crash replacement policy of 35% off MSRP. Depending on where you are and what component you destroyed, we may ask you to send the broken parts in for inspection so we can learn from the experience. This policy also applies to things like not using a torque wrench or driving into your garage with your bike on the roof. To contact us about crash replacement discount, please submit a request via this form.
Carbon Care Wheel Protection
Carbon rim failure is covered by our lifetime carbon rim warranty. Please reference our carbon rim warranty policy for details.
Consumables
Please remember your bike requires frequent maintenance and replacement of components subject to wear and tear, which are not covered by the Crash Replacement Policy.
Consumables and failures due to misuse include: Bushings - Bearings - Dented Rims - Worn Chainrings - Bashguards - Plastic Sliders and Wearplates - Pedal Pins - Chainguide Rollers - Worn Cassettes
Misuse
e*thirteen products are engineered for specific use cases. For example, you should not be using an XC component on a DH bike. If we suspect you’re misusing your component, we may opt to upgrade you to a component more suitable for your riding style; otherwise, you’ll still have the option to go with our generous crash replacement policy.
