Deng should really pull his finger out and test these products out for a certain period of time before they hit the market... hence why his frames are now coming with 6 month warrantys hence why they are not tested propely. Each year the designs of his products looked good but the craftsman ship is just poor. i have 2 friends who both have zoo lynx's and have cracked on the weld in the same place on both frames surely that is impossible for it to happen ive been on the trials scene since late 2003 all the frames ive come across for snapping have never seemed to be at the weld as the weld is where it supports the frame. My advice personally is ditch deng products... send him an e-mail with pic as he is always interested in seeing his products come at fault of a crack or any other form of damage... Just buy some dmr v8's and stop being a weight weenie.
