Ever broken a motorbike frame/wheel/swingarm/fork? No? Maybe they're "tough".

hahaha now that u mention it, ive snapped a CR250 frame in half below the headtube, split a rim, and bent a fork.....

DAM!
SHIT!
THATS WHACK!

How the hell did you do that?! My cousin came up short on a BIG double on his YZ (he claims 50-60ft but I claim BS on that), had both ankles strapped up for a few weeks (could barely walk), and NO damage to the bike whatsoever...

 

[CHEWY]

the frame was jumping off a BIG dam wall to flat, the rim and forks happened at the same time when i had a big highside going flatout and the bike hit a drainage pipe

Well the rim and the forks is just crash damage then... I could write off an army tank by crashing it, doesn't mean it's not tough.

Snapping MX frames isn't that hard. Supercross guys stretch MX bikes wheelbases by 3 inches after 4 or 5 races...

Oh yeah, most swingarms are strong as shit on MX bikes, apart from KTM's from '99 to '02...I've seen many snap right in the middle...

 

[CHEWY]

yea motocross and supercross kills bikes... never seen a ktm swingarm snap but ive seen many a YZ linkage go

Or maybe it's because they weigh a ton? Seriously, do you trash so many wheels that you can justify a 48 spoke wheelset? If you do, and you're not doing something REALLY big, then maybe studying your technique would reap more benefits.

As for the rim, how about an Intense MAG? I've heard from a lot more people who are happy with them than are happy with trailpimps.

Haha, that's cos you're from Dopemachine.
