Filo Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 isnt stainless steel not more likely to crack? looking great btw This Doesn't stainless steel work harden and crack because it becomes brittle?

IOLO Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 thanks for all the replies... very encouraging. in reply to Rob Leech... no, i dont think there have been any stainless trials frames . it is a first. in reply to.. Familybiker and Filo.. your average 304 or similar stainless can have work hardening issues, its also soft as hell, and tends to melt a little lower temp than other steels. the maintubes of the frame are nothing similar to 304. however BB shells are not available so the one i have used is from paragon machine works. and im %95 sure its 304. we hade used them on loads of frames. if its an issue for the stress of trials riding, i will find out. haha on that note. looking forward to really riding the hell out of this thing int he next few weeks. and getting some filming done Aran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks for the reply, I figured you would know a bit about the material. I do love the frame and I love the look of the frame. Good work man. Look forward to a video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
