Punkrider Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have seen 1 cracked one, the owner tried to wedge a seatpost that was to big in, snap (Y) They have a pretty good 5 year gurantee aswell, so if it does snap, send it back :D Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I havent heard of many giants snap, my mate used to have one and he did loads of big drops on it (quit now though) without any problems. Another rider has now got it and its still looking good after five years of hardcore abuse (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skandy32 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 my giants been running dead strong for nearly 2yrs now! and thats second hand from some chubby geezer! he he, and still no sign of breaking. At the mo, i'm running suspension up front, and even that extra strain doesnt affect it! I think all my components will break before the frame does.. and i've landed 12ft drops "not quite as smooth as planned" many a time! I dont think you should worry about it breaking. In the mean time, my matey sam, has gone through a leeson and norco... doing simular stuff! :D (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Rich, HarshRider, snapped his at the top of the seat stays. Not many have though, I think they are nice frames personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
