broke my LTF today

[Glen]

Riding trails    Best bike Ive had.  Spoke to S&M they said to contact 4 Down, which I've done.  Hopefully I'll know tomorrow if its going to be replaced under warranty.  I sent the warranty card to S&M last year when I bought the frame.

you been chasing parked cars?   

or have you landed nose down?   

[Bettyswallocks]

Gutted dude....  

What happened?

My son cracked his a couple of months ago, very thin walled tubing on LTF's i know a few that have dented real easily

bad news fella,modern frames push the envelope sometimes and one big hits enough..

[rooski]

think the term for this type of failure is "coke canning"

good job it's not one of darrens or the worms would be out having a dig.

[HUTCHMAN]

Would crashing your bike be covered under the warranty

Bring back the HAF

Talked about this the other night, shitloads of LTF's have broken over the last year and no one koo's...
 
It must be ok for a £400 "cool" frame to break regularly.

Its almost unknown for american made frames to break

shit news glen, as its not a manufacturing defect you may get offered a crash replacment frame, basicly they sell you a new frame at cost price this is what moeller told me a couple of years ago when my laf downtube got squashed

personally i dont think ill ride a sub 5lb frame again as they are made for people who weigh less than 12 stone and ride smooth

why not go for a dirtbike this time?

[kev-s]

cool building a dirtbike with ltf geometry wont be a problem as they have all the options on the s&m website to do this kinda thing

maybe see if they can build you a ltf using a dirtbike's top and downtube
