Hey, I realise a topic like this was made a few days ago about the new Onza's cracking and I didn't think much of it. until tonight that I realised mine has cracked at the exact same place. And it's quite a big crack. Apparently 3 Ice's now have gone at the same place and now mine has too. Where the chainstays meet the dropouts. On Seabass's, people thought it was from his sidehops because his chainstay was farely hammered. However mine has cracked on the other side that I sidehop too and the chainstay on that side is almost perfect condition. Now don't think for a minute that I'm having a go at Onza because I'm not. I love their frames and It's the nicest riding frame I've ever been on but I think this is something that should be improved for the next lot. And this photo is to prove that it's not from sidehopping and so yous can all see that this side the chainstay is in near perfect condition.

Well... When I first read this topic a few days ago I thought it must just be a coincidence it happened to 3 people. However, tonight my friend noticed a big crack in my Ice at the exact same place! On the dropout where the stey meets it. Now, this one is not from sidehopping as it's not even the side I sidehop to and the chainstay on that side is almost immaculate. I will post pics in a thread and link it on this post in a few minutes.

Pretty awesome video there. Can't believe your only 14. Haha. Great work.

Holy shit. You just keep getting better and better. Nice one.

Oh Ben.

Bummer dude. Exact same thing happened to me. I got a saw and cut a slit into the bolt head as deep as I could get it until the saw was touching the top clamp. Then fine a thin metal blade, I used it off this slicer thing and put it in the slit and turned it. Remember to make the slit deep enough though or else you'll be screwed. Hope it works for you. You get a great feeling of accomplishment when it does work though. Hahaha.

TheCircus has been on this topic for a long time. Hope he's writing something epic.

Looks lovely! And you legend! Front and rear maggie now. Definately the best brake set-up. Non of this disc shite.

Sounds pretty decent.

Seems like he is just taking the piss now.

Aww. Dammit! Never realised. Not as cool anymore. Haha

Definately not! Just got a new backwheel and it's an anodised sidewall so my back brake is amazing! Haha:P It does. Getting a booster which reduces flex reduces the bite. But makes the hold better. Is it an Echo Team one? And also, are you running it on a built in booster? I guess my main worry is that I just don't want my frame to crack there and sometimes when I backwheel things, I pull the brake pretty hard and I feel it flex in and the brake doesn't hold.

That's got me pretty excited. Haha. You better not be joking.

Hi, This is going to sound really wierd but... Is there anyway of making a booster flex more? Because I have a built in booster on my frame but it still has a bit of flex and I think i'm going to get a 2-bolt booster. However, because my frame's 4-bolt mount spacing is 105mm, not many boosters will fit. And the only ones that fit are the Trialtech ones and the Echo Team one. I have a feeling if I get one of those boosters, it will be way too stiff and my back brake will have no bite whatsoever. So is there a way of making it flex a bit more but so the booster is still reducing some flex from what it was originally like with no booster? i was thinking maybe drilling holes into might? Thanks in advance Hunter

...

EPIC.

Great vid Ross. That hold at the end was awesome! Haha. Those spots look good to ride EDIT: He runs Cousts.

Wow! That was insane! Best video I have seen from you. Nice.

Quite enjoyed that to be honest. Nice one.

Tensile or ENO any day. I'm needing a new freewheel but i'm gonna wait until the new Tensiles come out.

Swindle hasn't quit. He's got a Limey now and is in the process of making a new video. CLS still rides sometimes. Damon just released a new couple of clips and he said in the topic that when his new bike arrives he will be out riding again. And Neil T...

... i'm just gonna assume your joking.

Was beasht. Can't wait till vid 8.

Seriously... was that meant to be a joke?

I ordered some pads last Friday and mine aint come either, but I'll wait a week or so. I know that Steve sometimes has problems with being busy and that.
