Was giving the bike a bit of a clean this morning and noticed a fair bit of surface rust on the underside of the suspension bracket thingy. Does anyone know if i'll be able to get this replaced under warranty?

Got it in that region as well from a stint in adelaide, still would have happened anyway over time.Some carbon paper did the job, bit by bit than applied silver primer with an anti rust agent. Also on the upper side of the bracket where those 2 little hollowed out holes are....... so did the same.....you wont be able to claim against it.....
