pogonation Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) What do you think of my mates t-pro. He was going along and hit a pebble and this is what happened. Nah only joking it had been breaking for a long time and it has lasted him 1 and a half years which is not bad at all for less than £200 and I'm surprised it lasted this long with the abuse it has taken mainly from me lol.:( :'( R.I.P t-poo 2004-2005 :'( we will remember you for the rest of our lives. ;) Edited November 26, 2005 by pogonation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I have got a nice crack in my 04 t-pro (1st frame released) and stripped BB shell out of 05 frame in 2 hours :'( Still occasionally use the cracked frame when I can be arsed riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) Complain, but look at the number of T-pros been sold, and compare that number to the number of broken ones, and it looks alot better. Every trials frame will eventually crack. Hard luck though, what's your mate gonna replace it with? Don't Onza do a crash replacement scheme?

pogonation Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hes had the frame for 1 and a half years. Now he is replacing it with a gu 20'' :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Haha next time go for big rocks instead of pebbles, your frame wont break then :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Not the fist time it's happened. Mine will in a few months... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Better watch out, wanyio might just come accross this topic and have a good old moan, as he does. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Pyschic predictions eh?.... Well there's that, and that I've (somehow) cracked it, and I've just got it working again :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hard luck though, what's your mate gonna replace it with? Don't Onza do a crash replacement scheme? Zips are only £159 now, so it'd be possibly worth questioning them about, although that looks mullered :'( Sucks it broke though, even with a warranty replacement or new frame, it still kinda sucks. Can still remember the bottom dropping out of my world when my first ever trials frame cracked :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Where's the rest? Looks like it doesn't fit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 The top-tube is splayed up. When we broke mine in half, it folded where that one snapped, and it just sorta splayed the top-tube up as the rest of the frame dropped down. If you cropped the TT, "bent" it down by rotating it, then moved the other bit closer, it'd look shit but you'd see it'd match (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 i still remember you bouncing your frame on the backwheel when it had the bb cut out of it and the tt snapping (Y) . having to hold it together all the way home (Y) .

Just to clear that up, by "BB cut out of it", Mat means half the metal plate on each chainstay, half the seat-tube and the bottom 1/4 of the downtube, as well as the BB shell itself. Not super surprising it happened, really :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewholdsworth Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 nothing a good alu welder and a few transfer plates cant solve (erm but then again i do geography so that might not work) nice job crippling that frame, and i may jsut have to claim a go on the gu when im home (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
