Lawnmowerman Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) I've had my T-mag for about 6 weeks now i think but today i took off my armourdillo to check for dents and there was a crack 2/3 of the way round the downtube bash bolt weld :huh: The area around the bolt has caved into the frame aswell (Y) What do you reckon onza will say? I will get pics when my batteries have charged Edited May 30, 2005 by trialsboy560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Thats not good :huh: Theyl probably give you a new frame for free as its soo new. Cool? Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I dont know if i want another t-mag to be honest :huh: If its gonna crack again theres no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) T-pro then maybe? :huh: But seeing as you had an armourdildo on and havnt landed on the frame at all, I can see no reason why they wont object to giving you a new frame (Y) Edited May 28, 2005 by Sam@SouthTrials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I dont know if i want another t-mag to be honest :huh: If its gonna crack again theres no point. ← could be a 1 off.....but yeah i can see where you are comin from-its off putting, they will allow you to have half its value towards a different frame though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 It's going to be among the first frames the factory made, so they may have made a mistake, it is modt likely a manufacturing defect, because onza aren't known for being stupid about design.

Caleb Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Itll probably just be because you have the first frame i hope jay, other than the tpro youd be degrading imo, the new danny butler sig mod is disgusting and the t-pro aint exactly as rare as the t mag, go for the t mag again and it proibably wont go. I wouldntr say your a harsh rider either at all :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Had major problems with mine,the chain cut a massive grove into the frame and the brakebolts got stuck in the frame,ment to send it to onza to get a new one,just got a Echo team instead though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Same thing happened to me, one thread stripped and one bolt snapped in the frame :huh: I have to put washers on the drive side of my hub so the chain doesnt rub on the seat stay aswell (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmowerman Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 It was actually. The mounts on my frame are welded on slightly bent so the bolts dont go in perfectly straight. Ive had to drill the holes in my echo booster wider so they could go in bent :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had to drill the holes in my echo booster wider so they could go in bent :) ← the mounts fit onto the parts that are welded onto the frame wherever thay are! they could be welded onto your forehead and they would still go in! (Y) sorry, i dont have a clue why im arguing! :huh: bad luck about the frame man, hope onza sort it out for you :D they sorted me out with cranks when i snapped some :P cheers Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyJames Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Even though you have had it only a short amount of time, Onza might claim your beefy dent effected the strength of the frame. Therefore caused it to crack thus ending your ability to ask for a totally free frame. When I cracked my T-Pro I got the half price replacement and sold it straight away and got a Python, I suggest you do the same. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Well the warrenty i got when i bought my t-pro said otherwise, but meh. If the t-mags are cracking that easily, then dont get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
