I've had the bike since the end of April. I remember having them look at it because I thought there was something going on down there at some point a while back, but whoever looked didn't find anything. The bike had 580+ miles on it when they replaced the bracket this week. The 60+ mile ride yesterday was incredibly smooth -- might have been the best it's ever been! (this could be any of a few things -- the bracket, the new, longer seat post, or the lack of DH, so I was riding at MY pace all day -- or all of those things!)

Thanks Deb! I'll keep an eye on this bracket!

the P.S. -- could it be that since the bike is under warranty, they chose to replace the part rather than leave a slightly damaged one in there?
