mtbjosh Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 ooh no, it was created with continuous beastings lol, but i just carried on riding it with the crack and last night i thought id just try a few lil sideways drop gaps, nothing major considering the crack obviously lol, and after a few it just gave up and rode like a rear susser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbjosh Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 hmm, under warrenty, i rung airevalley up around 1month ago when the crack was found and wayne said he'd have to send it off to mr ashton, but judging on the week wait for an email reply which i havnt got, i dont really think i can be bothered right now. later when ive got it rebuilt onto my soon to be delivered frame.
