eMAyaRKay Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 If any have broke I can't recall any of them at the mo, seem like a great strong frame, I know mine feels great :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 When I read the title of this topic I was like, that is a really good question as I havent heard of any cracking or snapping etc... so please somebody shed the light and tell us if there has been any broken :ermm: Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT~DAN Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 since they were released if there is any snapped cracked then there was a minute amount because no one has heard of it Dan was condition is it in (james porter ? :ermm:" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echobikes Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Never heard about any snappage but apparently TRA's old one showed a fair few stress marks... Then again if it's true he gets away with it :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Thats strange, because my mate asked me today about whether anybodys snapped a pure frame after watching the engage vid 5 with james porter etc in. Most people who own them tend to go big eg rowan johns, james porter etc but they seem to be reliable nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTM Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 U6 (or U-sex :o ) Is THE frame making material. Pure simply dont break. I repeat, they DONT break! If phils first one didnt go, in the condition it was in (dents, dings and scratches EVERYWHERE, creased-ish downtube etc etc) then I dont think any will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Burrows Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'm trying my best, no cracks yet though. Broken just about everything else though (Y). Been through 3 sets of forks already since I had this frame :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly C Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 What U6 stuff has broken? Ever since Echo and Zoo! switched to that theres been no dissing either company, all there new products are high rated and reliable it seems. I saw Gamo's pitbull ages back and his downtube had taken some ABUSE huuge old dent in there and last I heard he's still riding it? Same with Niel his pitbull was battered to fook aswell. Good material it would seem (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I just bought a second hand team with a rather large dent in the chainstay, so it would be interesting to see if that breaks. My echo team forks snapped two days ago at the steerer, i just pulled it straight off. My Hulk like strength (Y)" They were only 3 months old, can i get them warrentied?

Danny@phatworks Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) Urban forks/Pure forks - Are they U6? A few of them have snapped. ← Im on my 3rd set of urbans, however my pitbull frame is still going strong after about 7 months now and iv thrashed it about proper in the last few months, it is covered in dents and has a few stress marks on it but no signs of cracks. As for echo pures, great frame also for strength, i used one for about 2 months and now belongs to Mr Burrows who is giving it a good thrashing (Y) Cheers, Dan.
