weegav Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have noticed a couple of dents on my frame. Will these cause the frame to crack or shorten the lifespan of my frame at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Possibly, it depends on the location and the depth of the dent. Let's have some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dents aren't massive but i was really just worried incase they cracked. Both dents are on next to each other and they are just above the bash plate mount. I will upload pictures in a bit.

Revolver Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 The bashplate mount is usually somewhere that cracks on a frame so it's not sounding great. What frame is it? Let's see the pics anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weegav Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) As you can see the dent isn't exactly big but i was just unsure if it will cause any problems in the future. It is an echo lite 2012 frame. I can get more pictures if required. Edited June 4, 2013 by weegav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Don't worry about that, unless you give it a proper thwack it's not going to die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weegav Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Don't worry about that, unless you give it a proper thwack it's not going to die Will it weaken the frame at all or cause it to crack in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Will it weaken the frame at all or cause it to crack in the future? Don't think so. My mate rides with 2 time bigger dent with ~0.7cm hole in center of that dent for 1+ year and no problem(zhi z1 frame). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 If your that bothered get a downtube protector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Its an echo, they crack without dents so I wouldn't panic over it for the time being just keep an eye on the welds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
