Ben-jamin' Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 My buddy just did that on his GU! Must be a poor design or something, a chainstay should never fall off hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 To be honest, I think *any* frame would die like that if it were beaten up enough.Most trials riders seem to not give a toss about their bikes and just liberally trash them and scratch/dent/scrape them without care. Ok, though this is kinda inevitable in trials due to the nature of the sport, you can actively limit it, which will seriously improve frame life.Almost all chainstay breakages are spawned off *excessive* damage, like scratches/dents gone so damn damn far. I'm hardly surprised since the material's been thinned and weakened so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Because you try bigger stuff?Ok, let me simplify it for you then.It's not a matter of how big I go, nor how harsh I am on my bike (which I'm not)... Heck, I haven't even ridden trials in half a year, since I moved to flat. My above post was with regards to people in general abusing the bike, it's not meant to be derogatory or insulting in any way. Truth be told, most trials riders are people who couldn't give a toss about their bikes or taking care of them, which in turn makes frames die far quicker than if taken care of. I hope this somewhat clarifies it to you Matthew Smith.Magnifico! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 On a quick note, someone mentioned the mod version of the 07 GU (smoothed welds) to have a particular weakspot? Where was it? I'm off on my gap year soonish, and would like a trials bike to ride during that time... deciding on which Deng frame. Have the 08 Typhoons been cracking a lot too?

(Mod version specifically)08 Tps crack loads, I've seen 1 07 GU snap and was like a hook to downtube or something, so it just snapped at the top of the bashplate.
