DOLAN bike frame Reaming | The definition of Manufucturing Excellence

[@dolanbikes_uk]

Dear Hambini viewers, Since the video that Madpec published a few weeks back was brought to my attention, I have been in contact with Graham and Paul. I have issued Graham with a full refund for the work Madpac/Hambini have carried out in order to have the bike usable again, I have also offered a replacement Tuono frame for Graham FOC so that we can dispose of the original frame supplied. Originally one of our customer service team had offered a 50% crash replacement off a New Tuono due to the original frame being outside our 2 year warranty period. As mentioned after seeing the video I made contact with Paul and Graham to try and resolved the issue. I just wanted to give you an explanation of the situation from our point of view, we are not out here to try and rip people off and try our best to look after our customer base. Have a good weekend everyone,

[@mrnobody9821]

Awwwwwww that's nice of them :)

[@theillegalimmigrant9314]

What are you going to do about all of the other Dolan's that are on the road with the poor resin flow that has been highlighted in this video? Are you going to issue a recall or a stop ride until they are checked or are you happy to have your existing customers ride on weakened frames.

[@eddolol]

Great response, difficult to know how to act with customer complaints unless seeing the actual product. This response makes you sound human too, rare from a company in 2022!

[@docmccoy9813]

Where's the explanation about the shitty quality?

[@dolanbikes_uk]

@@theillegalimmigrant9314 Hi, If any Dolan customers have any issues regarding their bottom bracket shell or anything else related to their bike it’s best for us to get the bike back and for it then to be inspected.

I sent a note to a customer who owed me money and was resisting paying the invoice. The note had a liberal dosing of f-bombs in it. He may have taken a bit of offense to my wording as he passed the note on to a lawyer. The lawyer rang me the day after the note had been sent which kind of floored me. A quick conversation and I was paid the following day.

As always, a great watch. Dolan did the right thing eventually, but only after Hambin stepped in. We can hope that they have realised that the QC needs improvement and that future Dolan frames won't be sub-standard. One thing that Hambini failed to mention was that the Princess blanket needs a clean!

[@stephencurtispowell]

I had a DR1 and unfortunately noticed the non-drive side chainstay had cracked though about 60%. When I discovered it after a ride and cleaning my bike I was pretty shocked but also thankful that it had not failed completely while being ridden as there could have been quite serious consequences if that has happened. Dolan's customer service was excellent and I was supplied with a Tuono frame with component swaps after sending photos and sending the bike back to them. I've had an AresSL for 6 years which has performed flawlessly. I think the DR1s as a batch must have had QC issues which is a shame as it was a great endurance bike that got me through Fred Whitton. To Dolan's credit they put the situation right with minimal fuss.

[@DP-PhD]

Thanks! First road race I did, Chris Boardman, who was still a junior at the time, was riding a Dolan. Pretty much every bike was steel in those days though and I think quite a few of the 'UK made' frames were actually made in Italy. 'Rebranding scams' will always be an issue, but this one is horrendous and fully deserved the full Hambini roast!

[@Hambini]

Thankyou for the super thanks!

[@2wheelsrbest327]

I straight away think of Chris when I see Dolan as he has recorded a video with Terry. It's a shame to view this because already owning a Dolan I would now question buying another. I guess like many others the top-notch bikes are out of my price league whether it's a complete bike or frameset so prior to this Dolan or Ribble would be my first choice but given this I would now go for one of the reputable Chinese brands such as Yoeleo , Winspace etc as their quality control going by what I know must be a lot better. And Hambini has illustrated this in several of his superb video's. Terry in the video came across as a nice fella so I don't think he is directly to blame for this but rather those that has contracted out the work to.

[@russhall9125]

This is the best commentary of any Hambini youtube clip yet. Thanks to Hambini for not only calling out the crappy engineering in the bike industry but also for making engineering visible to the world in a way that makes sense. I'm a mechanical engineer and I salute Hambini.

[@pookiestock]

Just watched after my Saturday morning bike ride. I giggle with every watch of these. I also get to learn English slang terms, which help with my vocabulary when describing manufacturing issues that I see in my job (manufacturing engineering for a defense contractor). It’s a miracle that anything ever works as designed once your crack things open and see how they are put together. I’m always amazed! Keep up with the hairdressers, and always have lube handy!

[@TheCharnwoodCyclist]

I watched this one with interest, I’ve had two Dolan frames now and both have been on the whole positive experiences. My first “L’etape” had no issues at all, my second “Tuono” had a small issue with the Fork dropout which turned out to be cosmetic, when I took it back Terry Dolan offered to replace it, took me round the paint shop to see some of the factory and they even gave me £20 to cover my fuel costs to drive there and back. I’m now in the market for a new bike and decided that I would get a Giant Defy which at £5k was good value, it came to me with scratches, paint defects (pin holes and sink marks in the paint) and the rear caliper mount hadn’t been faced which meant the brake couldn’t be aligned, their dealer couldn’t sort these issues and I ended up returning it for an refund. Mapdecs latest video shows a £7k Canyon which is riddled with problems too, also totally unacceptable. Until watching this I was going to order another Dolan, their system of allowing you to select bar width, crank length etc gets you a bike that fits when compared to any off the shelf type system such as Giant etc, but in all honesty I don’t know what to do, all brands seem to have issues with quality control, I can’t ride a Winspace as it’s too low, maybe a Time frame would be a safe bet but they are quite expensive. Buying a bike seems like a lottery at best, and Russian roulette at worst.

[@gam1471]

Why not consider a top quality British built steel frame instead?

[@ekrano]

Have a look at Enigma, Shand, Mason, Cotic. All U.K based and manufactured. If you're spending £5k then you could get a really nice Titanium Enigma.

[@bonzobanana1]

@@anthonydenn4345 Dolan are buying their frames from Asia, this is clearly a rubbish frame that they probably bought on price only. Perhaps they have already had many returns and they have changed factories. That is the issue with importers who pretend to be manufacturers. At least an importer can say we bought from a poor quality factory by mistake but have now changed to a much higher quality factory but a company that pretends to be a manufacturer has to bluff these situations out. Dolan are competitive on price and this is looking like it is achieved by using cheap low end factories rather than efficiencies elsewhere in the business. I saw a titanium Dolan bike sometime ago and it looked brilliant, really beautiful bike and looked to me very well made for the frame. I think the weight of this frame here would be of interest, as perhaps its is overbuilt to allow for inferior construction and is quite a heavy frame. I don't ride carbon fibre anyway but if in the future I'm lighter and richer this video has pretty much removed Dolan from my options.

I’m willing to accept that anything made by humans can have errors (though this frame has a LOT of errors, so it’s stretching my limits somewhat). What I’m not willing to accept is that Dolan didn’t immediately warranty this frame and make absolutely certain that the customer got total satisfaction.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That was a cracking repair job Hambini and another interesting insight into carbon layups and the issues you found upon closer inspection.

[@mrp7387]

I believe Dolan don't make the DR1(in this video) anymore, its certainly not on their website. I've owned a Dolan Tuono SL (rim brake version) for the past 7 years and I can honestly say its been faultless, its comfortable to ride and a doddle to service. Many may see Dolans comment and think damage limitation, at least they had the bollocks to come on here and explain things how many other companies have done this. My experience of their customer service and interactions with Steve have always been extremely positive. It does seem obvious there was a QC issue somewhere along the line, and this happens to all brands at some stage or another, just look at how many reaming's Hambini does across the board . I do wonder why the original owner didn't pick up on this sooner and act within the warranty period, especially being such a local legend club rider and experienced cyclist who should know his kit inside and out. I wonder if he ever did pre/post ride checks, or inspect his bike at regular intervals, otherwise this would have been picked up sooner, or has he just ridden it into the ground, then discovered the issue and whined to dolan and not been happy with their offer of 50% off a new Tuono frame.......and then sent the DR1 to Hambini to get them to ream the brand so he gets his way after a tantrum.

I want to try a carbon frame. But because of the seemingly pervasiveness of engineering incompetence, I'll just be sticking to steel or Alu. While they have their own issues, they're issues that I can fix, or get fixed. Can't say the same for CF in my middle of nowhere town.

Great job. The only 5yr old capable of fixing it come to think of it. As the owner I still would have taken your/cycle shop advice and saved you all the bother and scrapped it. Landfill aside. I've always fancied Dolan track bikes. Now this is obviously an egregious practice of theirs however.

Given that nearly all carbon manufacture is in China, it's highly likely they're just regular off the shelf frames. They only get ridden for a season and then get sold on anyway.

This could be a rare case, maybe it's happening too much now that so many people are wanting carbon bikes. But yeah why was the bike released when it was being assembled?

I put together a pre cursa and the wheel looks off center from the back under the seat but everything is straight and centered as far as i can tell. Guess the frame is just welded like that. Disapointing but the wheel is centered down by the bottom bracket and inline with the seat post and top tube. Kind of frustrating but like i said, everything is inline. Just the gap at the top of the rear wheel is not even. Guess thats why there more expensive frames out there.
