manuel Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 cracked a leeson and a curtis... i was a heavy basterd back then though, like really heavy... thats what you get for riding with matt berridge in your early days:pnever cracked a alu frame.yeah, maybe porter, but youve wanked up ally headtubes and turned normal shaped tubes into pieces of art. and broken hundreds of forks on the way....I managed to put a crack in my zero chainstays and i broke a pair of echo urbans in half !! But other than that my ech o is coming up to 2 years old .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nugent Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Only 1 so far, and hopefully won't again for a while!I snapped my old Planet-X Zebdi at the bottom of the seat tube/downtube..... just snapped clean through!!! I was so surprised when it happened. I could see the BB shell too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 forking hell.......i must have been a heffer back in the day i snapped an X-tort by splitting the headtube lengthways somehow....then i snapped 2 brisa B26's, followed by an orange zero which went at the chainstays, replaced with an es3, which the headtube ripped off after 4 weeks, replaced by the warranty zero, which lasted me a day before i cracked that, replaced by the warranty es3, which cracked after a few weeks..... then got the px, which stayed solid!also cracked my T-master, found a small crack on my excess, and a few other cheapy things.........this is all 3years ago or more though! in the last 3 years, i havnt killed any frames!3sets of forks, a stem, and millions of rear rims, but thats about it these days.....

Luke Drewery Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) I completely f**cked my zebdi mk2, too many drops back when I was learning how to land them smooth. Heres a picture for you all;Its the only frame I have ever cracked/snapped and the strange thing is it didnt snap at the weld, it snapped the tubing just above it clean in half...

Trials Dave Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 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.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 Phaha. yeah i snapped my team urban which is exactly the same as the team super pro. they are crap frames. they have strengthened the frame everywhere apart from the places which were cracking etc on the earlier models!got my pitbull now so im hoping it will last longer than 5 months!!

Mooore! Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 1 monty x-hydra (which i later discovered was supposed to have been recalled to the factory due to the wrong tubing being used on the chainstays so i'm not sure whether that counts)2 Brisa B20's (one was only a month old & bikedock said it wasn't under warranty so we went straight to brisa and they replaced it with the model that hadnt even been released at the time)and a DDG shooter that had already been ridden to within an inch of its life by a mate. So i finished it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
