MagnumPI Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Alright guys I am looking for good quality still pictures or video footage of any frame failures that you have experienced. These are going to be used to demonstrate the potential failures that may occur in bicycles frames in a class I am teaching. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon rider Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Did you persuade that DMR to break like that? It looks like it to me thats all :) Ive never broken a major component :o Thats a lie actually I cracked some Zoo! forks, the first versions, and busted a few pedals and chains, oh and a freewheel too :D I guess it is because i never keep anything long enogh for it to break, hehe :- Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I think im right in saying that DMR had some Juniors on it didn't it? Suppose that doesn't help :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebJT Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 My cracked DDG, has the same on the other side. Worked out it cracked from either running a maggy with tar or cutting my seatpost down. Thats my theory anyway... Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I think im right in saying that DMR had some Juniors on it didn't it? Suppose that doesn't help :o ← Dont strat me on this again. I was told by dmr themselves that 130mm jr t forks were fine on it so i put them on. If it was the forks then it would have snapped on the weld and it didnt it snapped further down where i had put a dent in the frame and it had rusted. Over shooting a double and thats what happens.

Chris@Onza rider Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I have two GT brian loopes 4x frames. Snapped the 1st one got another on warranty and snapped that one aswell. Both on the dropouts disc side, I dont think the 8" hayes discs helped but that shouldnt have made much of a differance should it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
