Hey guys, so I ordered a Kink complete not to long ago and I noticed there was something wrong with the front hub so I took it to my local BMX shop to get it checked out and they said that the hub shell was machined wrong.I would like to know if you guys think that kink would cover this and how to contact them.

Kink will probably warranty it, despite you putting it together yourself.
Either contact them yourself or let the bike shop do it if they offer that stuff, they do here.

What actually is wrong with it?
If it was machined wrong, chances are good there are more with the same issue.

I didn't even think about it but alot of places will blame it on something stupid like that if they don't care or busy or don't know what to do.

My bike says "GT Bicles" on the stem's cap 
Makes me feel like I bought a knock off GT. lol But seeing as it was a complete, I doubt you assembled the hub yourself, you probably just put the front wheel on the bike yourself. With that being said, Kink should warranty it because you had nothing to do with machining the hub. Good luck with the warranty process.

Where did you get it? What was actually wrong?? Could just be the shop trying to trick you into buying a wheel or hub from them..
