Trail PIMP.....
|
And all of STR's people say..." UH OH" - broken frame
lameness...
out on a nice XC ride, about mile 12, started having some shifting issues in the rear... i attributed it to some mud and thought a good cleaning would take care of it... I was wrong. I got out of the saddle to climb a short and steep hill... and BAM. BAM is the sound of the rear wheel hitting the frame and me falling over. cracked the rear swingarm in half. frame is ~6 months old. Hope they warranty it.

Huh?
|
That sucks! Looks like a pretty new bike? How old is that? Time for a warranty.
|
|
No cavities!
|
Where were you "mud" riding?
The evidence is all over the tires.......... I'm calling MATTLOCK! He'll find out...... then retire to the hotel for a mint julip! |

That looks like a pretty clean break... Close to the weld/heat affected zone, though.
Hope the warranty works out and sorry to hear about your break! |

The failure caused the need for the 'extraction of a sitting duck trespasser' long way to the 71 freeway by foot...

Which way did he go?

Another story to a manufacturer that starts with " I was just riding along".
You must have quads of steel to be breaking chainstays, congratulations.... You need to hang that in your garage as a warning to all the other bikes in the neighboorhood. You should be proud.

Put MBenga in!

Better to break it climbing than descending.
Build it back up and try to break it again! |

You should become a card carrying member of Core Chiropractic in Lake Forest/Mission Viejo. Dr. Shane Doney. The doc is also a member of this site and avid rider.
They work on a few good athletes, the most notable being Brian Lopes. They have broken frames mounted on the walls and signed sports stuff all over. Thats where I go and where I hope to hang a broken frame some day.
