Ridegear advertises special order parts are no problem, although I haven’t tried this yet. Warranty issues are handled directly through ridegear, so there’s no need to go through the manufacturer if you get a defective or broken item. Another handy feature is the customer product reviews. The reviews can really help you decide between the items you’re considering.
