I noticed on the Fit Website that there is no mention of voiding the warranty if I get a frame drilled for tabs.... I have not called yet but I figured if someone already asked them this I could get a straight away answer.

EDIT BELOW IN BOLD:
So Fit DOES allow it, only if done correctly. If drilled wrong then no replacement.

So now, in terms of that, I have been thinking on getting a gyro and front brakes. Which forks would you guys reccomend? Obviously ODSY but what about DECO? I would not be necessarily feeling a 25 offset with a 75.5 HTA, the DECOS have a 28 available. And the Colony Forks have 30 like my Demo Elites.

I'm 90% sure that will void warranty
why not email them? None of us work for fit/s&m

this guy got dimensions right from Fit on where to drill tabs, so I would assume if they give you that then they're okay with it. But better email/call them to be on the safe side.

my take on it is this: fit warranty for frames (as far as I know) including the wifi are handled by s&m, because ive seen someone break an s&m frame and get offered a fit wifi as a crash replacement
the s&m guys are usually pretty good with warranty stuff
if the breakage is anything having to do with the headtube, up to halfway down the top/bottom tube then i don't think they would warranty it
if the breakage was something like a cracked chainstay, it has no correlation to the modification and i would think they would warranty it

but seriously just flippin email them, we don't have a 100% correct answer, only fit does

Fit & S&M are in the same warehouse so that's why, if you break a frame, you have the option to choose from either Fit or S&M so that's really cool of them. Includes stock frames too. Friend of mine snapped his BF1 frame, got crash replacement & only paid like half for an S&M ATF

It's not lifetime warranty anymore, just 1 year, but at least after 1 year is up they're still offering some form of warranty.

Email them. That will get your answer 100% correct, then you know and don't get hosed by some kid being a butthole saying yea it's fine and then you get denied because the kid lied.
