Cookyboy Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Right, i am thinking of getting one of these. Just wanted to know if anyone knows of any cracking etc, or how long people have had theirs without any probs.Any feedback would be appreciated, i like the geo of these bikes but dont want to spend out on one if they are renound for breaking in a certain place!Anyway post your comments then il decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I feel they are slightly on the "over built" rather than "under built" category. They could have gone a tad lighter, but the way they have done it I consider it a very strong frame. I havn't heard of any cracking or snapping yet anyway.

kyle-livesey Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Shit Kyle where did it go? Wasn't down to all the lightening work was it?drop out fell off but re welded it lol and still riding it.ali as far as im aware it snapped because stan didnt run a hanger bolt in it causing it to crack. but its fine now was welded in london when we rode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sounds like the same problem porter had with the xs26, however he was running a hanger, still same dropouts though! How long did that frame last before cracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 It's like my dream frame aswell, but I don't fancy one now... Hydroxx 2 when the student loan kicks in maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
