who has ever snapped their frame??

[lupine128]

i snapped a pk ripper and quadangle in my youth, a shogun slickrock in my not so youth, and yz250 recently.
god the old S.E. stuff was cool.......

I snapped my AC team around the the down tube above the shock mount, Mind you I did hit a stump at 30ks!!! The same crash snapped me pretty bad as well puttung me in hospital in need of some surgery, Stay tuned for photo's. You can see tenden and bone and all sorts of nasty sheeet. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

woohoo, more carnage photos

I snapped my old 'Goose NX8.1 (one of the old Newman frames) on the RHS chainstay just infront of the weld at the dropouts.

It was my first "real" mountain bike and I broke it doing things that really should not be done on a XC frame.

 

[oneoftheboys]

all bikes brake. it just depends on how long i guess. get the right bike for the right job an i guess you will keep it to a minium unlike my 7 plus frames i have either cracked or snapped

 

[oneoftheboys]

but then when i think of it, i am not the smoothist an i weigh 90 kg an i hit pretty much all there is to hit.

I snapped the chainstay on my old Shogun Trailbreaker, but it lasted a lot longer than it should have, I was just waiting for it to give up the ghost.

my first bike was a giant rincon with rigid forks :roll: it snaped,
got me a stab primo and craked the frame in four places :? but im sure it was a falt in the workmanship and shit....getting a bran new frame on warranty but so it worked out all good!

 

[RaID]

i tore the the headtube of my DBR V-Link Pro
towards the end of my first ride on it.
Ironically it literally broke when i was just pedalling along the footpath (luckily aswell).
ahh the joys of buying 2nd hand bikes :roll:

 

[matty_2004]

[matty_2004]

[curtisrider]

Snapped the head tube clean off just at the weld.

Hey Rossco, Zaskars are good stuff, we've only ever had two in for cracks around the seat/top tube joint and I'm pretty sure the guys were running their seat posts way too far out for the frame.

BTW where do you work as a courier? If Melb, do you know Talon?

 

[Grip]

And because it's painful to think of all those poor broken bikes lying around out there, here's two follow-on questions for this thread...

Where are all these frames now?

And

WHY AREN'T THEY HANGING IN OUR WORKSHOP???

Even if they're totally dead (which you know I don't believe) I did put this post up....
