Flat Bottomed A Ten Crate Drop!


Recommended Posts

i was out riding to day on my bran new t-mag and i did a ten crate drop a couple of times and then i flat bottomed it! ( landed on to wheels ) i think iv jarred my back it feels like a dull ache, as i landed my feet come of the pedles luckily, i think that saved my frame it could of been worse, but the only damage seems to be is that the front free wheel has exploded, its still useable but sound funny, i will replace it A.S.A.P,

Where shall i check for cracks and such, and is the t-mag a easy frame to snap? my mate said if it had been a t-pro it probly would of snapped,.... is this true any help appreciated (Y)

10 crates is nothing i got up 10 crates today

Do you want a ceremony with your medal?

Anyways, check all your welds around the headtube and bottom bracket area, along with the dropout welds.

Should be fine to be honest, just check everything ever few weeks like bars for cracks etc.

Doubt it exploded if you can still use it. :turned:

Might not need to, check the bearings etc see whats making it sound funny, maybe the spokes are loose/snapped?

One drop wont crack your frame

No :S frames dont snap that easily

learn to drop before you go being cool and doing ten creates

what, do you think he was ontop of ten pallets practicing his rolling gaps?
