Borat Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Where is the crack, get a picture.Tartybikes do a warrently, for three months. If you have raped it, the warrently will be void. But if it has cracked at a weld or somewhere quite stress free, ring tarty up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 this isnt a dig at rockman or any other manufacturers, as they are giving people what they want... But people who buy lightweight comp frames that have been released with minimal testing - I have no sympathy for when their shit breaks. In this case - yes its gone on a weld - but where else is a frame gonna break ? (apart from the old XTPs that snapped in the middle of the DT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Judging from this pic:Not massively surprised it broke there?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Thats a bad design if you ask me, I would have continued the gusset round so it filled the gap on the BB shell, so it would be making contact with as much of the shell as possible. The gusset5s not doing an awful lot, the chainstays are welded straight onto the BB shell. Edited August 16, 2009 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gusset5s not doing an awful lot, the chainstays are welded straight onto the BB shell.That's the problem.I think megamo came up with the one piece bb/chain stay yoke which a lot of frames use now.I'm pretty sure it was deng who first started welding solid plates to the bb shell with the echo pure and it solved a huge problem with trials frames. Its simple and works great. Welding the chain stays to the bb is a step backwards in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristaps Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 but is there someone else who had broken this frame?..or maybe knows some who had broken?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simple and works great. Welding the chain stays to the bb is a step backwards in my opinion.But plates mean weight, and as we all know, if it rhymes it must be true But yeah, if people are demanding lighter and lighter frames, there are going to have to be corner cut somewhere. Obviously just welding the spindly ends of the chainstays to the thin BB shell is going to be well light, but I can't see it being a strong solution - and it apparently isn't. But again, that's not really condemning Rockman. They're simply making what the market are after, which is what you have to do to survive as a business. As they're only offering a 3 month warranty, they're probably aware of it's limitations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookyboy Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 i say thats down to the chainstays welding straight onto the bb as opposed to the more popular and stronger design of chainstay/bb yolk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
