Well, for one your links don't work, And secondly, What do you expect from a trials bike? Non of them are going to last great periods of time, my latest frame only lasted 5 or so months. Just get on with it really, you have to except that in this sport parts will inevitably break. I'm surprised frames last as long as they do anyway!

Is it on a weld? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundy9 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Is it on a weld? its above the weld and its started to slowly spread up the frame with a few smaller cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 its above the weld and its started to slowly spread up the frame with a few smaller cracks. That would be why then, basically all frames crack at welds. I'm guessing the guessets near the headtube?, just like the Coust does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6ft-midget Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, for one your links don't work, None of them are going to last great periods of time, Not strictly true. I've known frames last years. Lighter frames are subject to a higher chance of cracking, but for a beginner there's no reason why it wont last a fair while. I've only ever ridden tanks so I got no worries about cracking my frame Some working pictures or links would be cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I know a few zoo lynx frames that have cracked. I think most frames should last a year at least unless your damon/tunni/cls and all that lot. Frames should not crack in months with the average rider riding them ! As the years go on bikes seem to be getting weaker and weaker they should be getting stronger.R DENG take your little stumpy chink finger out your bum bum put on some glasses and and shove your brain in gear man and take note! 04 PYTHONS IS WHERE ITS AT! RANT OVER! Edited January 18, 2011 by Dave Anscombe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Some photos of the rest of the frame would be great in order to lend a less biased view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANT OVER! i know how you feel ive only had the frame 7 months and i havent rode it for 1 month because of the snow. i only really ride it at weekends and it not even that intense. deng should start designing proper frames! that dont crack with the lightest of riding.
