People must take in some silly stuff for warranty, one of the grommies on here reckoned you should get warranty on forks you bend in a crash...
Short of blatantly welded on wrong iscg tabs ala intense etc I really cant think of many things on a bike you could get warranty on.

Bannana frames out of the box ( same company), pivots blowing up after minimal use (incorrect bearing installation) Frames cracking, especially when you are using them for what their name suggests...
