Rusevelt Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Not long with that much frame flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Not long with that much frame flex. You know this how? The frame looks horrific, but it winds me up when people state frames arent going to last long before they've even been proven properly.

omgnoseat Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 That's a pretty small disc on the rear, any idea which brake it is? Seems to hold up good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 You can actually see the frame flex... That's not good methinks. Edit: I know it's designed to flex but in my mind that's not a good idea with an aluminium frame. Design it right in composite or whatever and no worries but in something that is likely to fatigue and snap is bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I know it's designed to flex but in my mind that's not a good idea with an aluminium frame. Design it right in composite or whatever and no worries but in something that is likely to fatigue and snap is bad news. Ti, steel or carbon, but not Alu.It just won't last. To Echo Lite 09, Alu will fail a lot faster than any of the other materials i've mentioned purely down to the material properties and how it work hardens/ fatigue life. It's just not a suitable material for something that is designed to flex in the way that this frame is. Does take the whole comp bikes are like pogo sticks to a whole new level though....

FamilyBiker Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 its not that i am unlucky with marinos products,so an alu frame would be just for fun/snapping experiment anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
