Lets say the LBS drills and taps a new hole but this results in the frame failing down the road. If he's having this much trouble now do you think they are going to help him 6 months later? I know how corporations work it will be "Sorry but we believe you abused the frame". "You didn't have a certified carbon fiber facility repair this and we can't warranty it".
