Scott Gibbs Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thats the problem with light weight comp based frames. Snappy snappy! But to say all montys are crap is a little unfair i had an urban for 2 years and not a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Thats the problem with light weight comp based frames. Snappy snappy! But to say all montys are crap is a little unfair i had an urban for 2 years and not a problem!The urbans were years ago? Monty's changed a lot since then.Thats crazy.. How is the downtube different from previous years? iv had 6 montys and only ever cracked an 05 on the chainstay.i never realised how thin the material actually is..It's a completely new frame, doesn't share a tube with any other Monty. Aluminium frame tubes are often that thin, I have a T-Pro with a hole in the downtube, and that tubings about the same thickness.

Token Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 So would ovalising the top tube at the bend point reduce the risk of this happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Probably it would just prolong the time until it fails.Judging by the fact that very few seem to have snapped, or people are not saying I would say that there are some welding quality issues with particular frames.The crack seems to be starting by the weld and moving around the tube.Bit worrying really.Wanted to get one of them but would be really pissed off if it happened to mine.

Dan S Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 that is not what you really expect when you buy a $1000 frame.I could have snapped mine the same way but I welded it in time. Now I have upper right chainstay falling off ecause of a big crack.This made me think that they made not to last longer than 6 months.
