_skj0lsvik_ Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi, I may switch from my BT5.0 frame to a echo pure frame.. I`m switching because of the lenght of the BT, to damn long.So, this pure frame is cracked near the seat/brake due to not using a brakebooster. Its rewelded, but will it last? He is using a booster now ; )And do somebody know the cs lenght, bb rise and wb?Cheers, Sondre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 When I had my Pure I didn't use a booster and mine was fine Anyway it should last if the weld was a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thats the first cracked Pure I've ever heard of.2nd for me, there was that pic on here a while ago, might have been in nmc, of a pure frame with the chain stay gusset snapped in half. If it's re-welded and running with a booster there shouldn't be a problem, although it will weaken the frame to a degree it should ride okay, just keep an eye on it.
