SCOTTY___ Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) There has been hundreds Crack/Snap. Mine was a lucky one thats didn't. They crack on the downtube under the gusset. Also the First Version cracked on the Chainstays but the gusset sorted that out. Also the threads in the BB area and the brake mounts arnt the strongest. So keep and eye out for that. Hope this helps, Scotty Edited May 16, 2005 by Echo_Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornabytrials.co.uk Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 hmmm better get saving for a new frame lol only frame that aint cracked on me is a Koxx Level boss how long are the 05 modles taking to crack? are they covered by warantee when they do crack? B)" also when u say the threads on the brakes and BB area are weak, what exactly do you mean? My bb came loose last night and am going to tighten it when i get home from work :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Threads weak my arse, I really love it when people give this shit when they hear of someone stripping something probably by them being r-tard fisted when putting said bolt/bb in frame. Your t-pro will last you ages. And if it does break you get a half price crash replacment from onza. I think you can get that off another frame too, for example you bust your t-pro and get a t-mag half price (i think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 only frame that aint cracked on me is a Koxx Level boss ← Should be fine then, since its the same frame, made from better material, with extra gussets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyJames Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I put a huge crack near the top of the downtube after only 5months of riding, pretty wank but wasn't bothered because I flogged the replacement for £150 and bought a Python :mellow: Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 mine seems fine but just starting to do bigger drops but i have confidence in the frame as there are like 6 riders with them in blackpool but 1 uses it to go to the shops etc :mellow: .

Si-man Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I have one of the original ones (one of the first with the coust sigs on it), and its still going fine *touches wood* Thought there was a hairline crack starting on the top tube gusset, but i don't think that it is. Ohwell, will just get another 1 when it finally decides to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Mine was around 9-10 months old, with a few heinous dents on the downtube. These were also hit repeatedly (I manage to only dent my frame in 3 places, but kept hitting it on the dents :S). I wouldn't call that too bad, really. It just cracked around the top of the weld on the down-tube, between the top- and the down-tube weld. I had to cut the BB shell out of the frame, hence the bits of frame lying around. Got the new one for £90, but my BB keeps coming loose and my headset bearings are raped, so I've barely had a chance to play on it :mellow: Also, aren't BB threads stripping more of a problem of people putting them in badly?

JT! Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Approximately 99.354723%, yes. ← Could be be a bit more accurate? :mellow: You only strip threds if your cack handed, i have never stripped the threds in my BB, apart from the time when i was getting realy fustratde with it (like you do) and cross thredded it, which was my own fault. The t-pros seem to be going good, the reason that they seem to brake alot is that alot of people have them, so there are more to brake. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
