Nicely done, what were you doing when it finally went?

Probably hopping up a kurb... whenever major parts of my bike break its usually just after i've done something that would have really hurt if it'd snapped, so after a big drop gap i hop up a kurb and the frame snaps lol.

Oooh another member of my club.

Bet YOU don't have a picture of you actually snapping it though. :-

My halves are in my sideshed. I can get pictures of it with a digi caliper if anyone is REALLY bothered.

Just measure and tell us, I trust you :)

I would measure it and get a pic of the tube thickness but i've already sent it off

And yes a had just done a 9 ft drop, got a lovly flat spot in my wheel. and did a bunny hop off a curb

landed both wheels flat and next thing i knew was a snap ? i've got to say it did have a big dent before it snapped

.

hmm my onza snapped just like that :turned:dsc00235ij3.jpg

yeah... my mate had a t.pro that snapped in exactly the same place as this!

apparently its where they weld that gusset on under the frame...the weld weakens it and there is a stiff part next to the thinner part of metal if you see what i mean?...so it's a definite weak point!

Haha, mine snapped DURING a drop. I can get the pic if you want to see, was legendary.

Mine had some pretty substantial dents I have to admit :shifty: But that's more down to the utter tin foil downtube...

Ok I'll get some pics of my halves tomorrow when it's bright (Y)
