J.KYDD Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Bike has had some updates since it was posted a while ago. Unfortunately though I snapped it earlier on today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Unlucky, right nice bike too What are you getting next? pure 2011? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 To actually see it snap IN the weld? Thats unusual, metal usually breaks between the weld and tube (the weakest place). Gutted dude, she looks sweet otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Gutted for you dude - that frame's done UberGood things for your riding over the last few months! between the weld and tube (the weakest place). Depends on whether or not you've got decent penetration with the weld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 What are you getting next? pure 2011? Got my eye on the Hydroxx 2 in the FS thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whether or not you've got decent penetration with the weld Why is it that every you say has a sexual second meaning? Im pretty sure even with decent penetration, its the weakest point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 If you have sexual thoughts about me I'd prefer it if you kept them to yourself in future. Welded alu isn't always so strong, but in the case of steel it's usually stronger than the base material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualjoe Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Sure is, well my choice for next frame was between a fans or a wip so thanks josh you made my mind up for me, hope you get a frame sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welded alu isn't always so strong, but in the case of steel it's usually stronger than the base material Well that opens the crate of what grade material your welding, what wire/stick your using, blah blah blah. But what im trying to say is ive always seen it snap at the weld line, steel and alu, so J.KYDD is pretty special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewG Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) nice bike....Pure would be better choice than hydroxx and maybe more durable too IMO. but yeah hydroxx is better treated... Edited May 8, 2011 by AndrewG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 same place as where mine snapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Leech Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Unlucky fella, looked like a really nice ride aswell. Luke and the other guy that was talking about why it cracked there, think about this- Is the bb yoke a single machined part? If so, the torque put down through pedalling will be the cause of it cracking, continuous flexing with aluminium equals..... you know where i'm going . Bad joint design probably bob all to do with the weld, especially if other people are saying thats where their's went . Thought i'd share the knowledge. Cheers, Josh.

sappu Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 NIce looking bike , you could get that welded, if the material it's not craked only the weld itself it's a easy fix, will hold for some months of good riding. If not, get that hydroxx 2, i ride one myself and i'm very pleased with it, improved my riding alot,coming from an 09 control.Wish you the best, let us know what you decided .
