Title: how long did your haro plate gusset last you?
Post by: christhejob on April 24, 2007, 12:31 PM

in a sidenote to making sure the "gen1 reissue" has a decent gusset

my 88 haro sport plate lasted 30 minutes before i cracked it alleyoop fakieing onto a dirt bank  (i did have a 2 foot high revcore seatpost though)

anyone else??

ive been usin haros as riders for the last 3 years, an 84 for the first year of riding and that saw some big jumps and even bigger bails, and not a smidgeon of stress to be seen, also used a haro sport 87/88 with wrap around gusset with no probs and more recently an 87 fst and that thing just seems to be bomb proof, this said the bashguard sports seemed to pop the gussets far more easily than other models, just startin usin an 88.5 sport now and hopefully this one is gonna jump like a c*nt, so we'll see how it fairs :daumenhoch:

when everyone was down birmingham wheels late 80s early 90s all the haros could have the seattube move like a chopper gearstick or had a ton of seagull poop welding holding it together.. hairy ken at gorsty lea garage used to do mine every week for 2 quid!

it's ok, 7.45 champions league kicks off, i'll get off the internet..

I've got 2 87 FST's here and both are cracked in the same spot. Easy fix though. I've got a busted Motomag frame here too so I don't hold much hope for the Haro!  :crazy2:

a lot of the haro went by the seatpost section  untill haro started welding them underneath . i never broke my haro`s but did my hutch so they must have been quite strong

a black/black sport is one of freestyles best ever looking frames in my opinion.
