CBProductions Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Snapped a santa cruz bullet at the headtube at fort william maxxis jump, and cracked a da bomb 20" so far no cracks on the tpro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Snapped a Gary Fisher Marlin and a Heavy Tools copy frame back in the day. Both were shite - the GF was an XC bike. Barely even that, it was entry level tripe.Also cracked an unbranded cheapo trials frame, but my chainring had already sawn a hole halfway through my chainstay by that point so I s'pose it doesn't count.Never cracked my old Saracen X-Ile though, and that took some serious abuse. Same with my monty X-Lite, I gave that bike some SERIOUS grief and it took it all like a man. Well, the frame did anyway. Just about everything else on it broke :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonPace Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I cracked a curtis once but never managed to snap one, doubt I ever will the amount of riding I do these days is very minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy P Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I dont know what I've been doing differently to everyone else but I've never snapped a frame. My first "real" trials bike was an Echo ES3 which had a reputation of snapping easily. I bought it used when it was about 2 years old and rode it for another 2 years maybe before someone spotted the tinyest hairline crack where the seat stays met the seat/top tube.I then got a Planet X Zebdi, used it for about 6-7 months before getting my deal with MAD. Recently sold it to a friend of mine to fund my heroin addiction.yeah i would like to see how many of the sponsored lads have snapped. cls and tunnicliffe hahai think everyone has snapped a saracen mad 2004 model.I've been riding for MAD for almost a year now ( that year has gone a bit quick!!) and I've only put a small crack in the driveside chainstay (which was a common fault on the earlier ones) after a weekend at NASS. I got the newer frame which had a few extra welds / gussets and I never had any problems with it for quite some time. I then got given the newer 'Team Super Pro' and only swapped from my second frame because I prefered the colour of the new one . These ones are very light weight - much lighter then even the earlier ones I believe and I've been riding this one for quite a while now and it's been as safe as houses.Nobody mention Jack Meek....He seems to eat frames for breakfast...Am I the only one who doesn't 'expect' to snap a frame??Andy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir trial a lot Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Ive never snapped a frame but id like to think im a fairly smooth rider. My Monty lasted about 9 months then i changed to a T-Pro which i rode on for about 3 months then got the money together for my 06 Python. So yeah, never had any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
