1337 Trials Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 What about new frame,rockring??? but if i get a rockring I think I will need new cranks cuz I have front free wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 if you allready have a front freewheel then you dont need to get new cranks because they should fit onto most frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannondale Ashton Rider Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Personally I feel that you would have better luck by getting a different frame.The Da-Bombs are not particularly good frames in terms of quality or geometry.It may seem like a lot, but a second hand Onza T-Pro would probably be the samecost as getting the bashplate mounts helicoiled a few times, as it is likely to continue breaking.I don't think you can fit a bashring to those cranks, so the cost of a bashring and new cranks would be near that of a good second hand frame.Thanks and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 Trials Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Well I am taking the bike to the bike shop this Saturday and see what they think (the shop I brought it from).I was going to order the try-all rim this week because I have the hope xc waiting in the shop for me but I don't know if to dispand the idea of a disc for now and save for a new frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 In my opinion I would save for a new frame. I had a da bomb and changing to a tpro made the world of difference for my riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 but a second hand Onza T-Pro would probably be the samecost as getting the bashplate mounts helicoiled a few timesNot quite. If he got his helicoiled (if its a good job, he'll only need it once) it would fix his problem there and then. Otherwise, he could have them tapped out to the next size up, and drill out the bashplate a bit so the bolts get though, and just buy a new set of bolts...simple as pi.Helicoiling costs pennies, some people charge well over the odds for a heli kit, but go to some crappy carboot and pick up a tap/die set for about a fiver if you're not going to be using it much.

I was just thinking seeing that he has already had it rethreaded once maybe it is poorquality metal used in the Da-Bomb frames.The best option is to learn not to rely on the bashplate!
