LukasMcNeal Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 My mate had a Dob built up with dual Hope-Try All brakes and a month later the disc mount snapped bending the rotor. Now hes sending the frame back to tarty and has brought a Czar. The thing is hes not a heavy rider hes only 13 and is quite small and I dont see ho wit would brake.Anyway has anyone else had trouble with a Dob?

Muel Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 It's bound to just be a manufacturing fault on that frame, Tarty Adam's was fine for the few months he had it, and he's not an wirey 13 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will4eva7k Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 a dob mod?i've seen a fair few videos of good chinese riders running dual disc, and havent read about any stock frame failing at the disc mount.as for snapping around the headtube, dob addressed that issue and put in a headtube gusset on their newer version of the 26" pro (available in 1065 and 1075, black/white). it should help the frame live longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
