does any body else believe in 'the right tools for the right job'?

if your a rider that goes big, lands hard.. you do not want to be running a sub 4-5 lb frame. fact.

Funny coz really, when ever I go on bmx forums I read about 'those UKbikeco frames ' etc,
but this is the 1st pic i've seen..
and the spin is it may even turn out not to be broken/cracked... jeez?!!?!

I have no doughts that some will break... but.. these are not commutor bikes!

I, along with most of the people I ride with, and have riden with, have broken frames along with a host of other parts, it happens!
Can someone name a BMX company that has NEVER ever had a report of a broken frame of theirs?? nope, didn't think so..

I stand on neither side of this, I just see alot of people being unfair, is there really any need for it?

its riding bikes..... thats it.

ray some people have the hump and the rag between their teeth, they just wont or dont want to let it go.fair enough i say its a big world
i dont ride hard when i do, and busted 3 rear hub bearings in a strong freecoaster hub 3 times and dont see nowt about it on forums.
as you said if your a big jumper dont bloody buy one if your smooth then give it a go.
it will just run and run and run and run .
i try to keep out of it but got mates /friends on both sides of this discussion so keeping as level head as possible.

yep just spotted what laz said end of rearlly

i blew 2 end bearings behind the driver 2 axles 1 driver pair of bearings and he ball bearing blew out of the axle and its the beefed up street version.
i guess the upgraded new one will have all the issues ironed out.
