GyTrials Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 to be fair the frame has taken a lot of abuse for a long time id be happy if mine lasted that long, weird thing was there was no evidence of a crack prior to this, danny checks for cracks regulary Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 It cracked there due to the cable holding piece welded to the frame, those things are huge stress raisers. It had probably been weak at that point for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 It´s V1 not V2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Exactly my thoughts. The V2 had completely different dropouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwards 99 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 did you take a grinder to that or somthing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 It´s V1 not V2 Thanks for correcting.. i knew it started with a V lol Exactly my thoughts. The V2 had completely different dropouts. Yeah the 3 setting drop outs... did you take a grinder to that or somthing No... it just snapped randomnly. As steve said further up danny the rider checks his frames regularly for cracks etc. It is one of damons old frames by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
