tbh over the last couple of weeks i read through some quite nasty threads
that start with some member saying that some part he bought has snapped or
cracked. well the minutes it's posted everyone fires back with well it ok with me or
it's a piece of shite, listen, if your not a full on rider don't shout back, leave it to the lads
who ride and abuse these parts, i saw a ti profile axle crack today, my billy has now broke
two profile crank arms, endless pedals ect, the amount of bars and frames i have seen
cracked through riding, and i mean RIDING, not cruising around but proper seshes going down,
this is when you know that these parts are good or bad, trust the boys that do it, obbie and davemc
isaac. billybmx billy stupps ect will ride theses parts to the max, it really digs me when a hard rider breaks
a part and a not so full on rider argues to the point where it gets outta hand that, well it's fine with me.
it's not fine, if you dont push it to the max, you cant judge, these parts will break and the full on riders
are the test pilots, they know whats best ;)

Dan, I would slap her next time she disrespects ya :angel: :knuppel2:

The way I see it is EVERYTHING brakes. The right rider (or should that be the wrong rider?), and a hard enough trick will take everything out in the end. Even the 10 lb monstor frames of the 90s got broken sometimes. Now with bikes getting lighter and lighter, snapped parts will be more and more common. Its just a question of time before riders get fed up with it and heavy parts come back "in".

alex mate so true, every part will break by some rider, my thread was to try and stop the arguments between
full on hard riders against riders who own these parts and will never push it, so cant defend what they own,
you have to ride them hard to know ;)

I can see the logic in what your saying SBD, and tend to agree :daumenhoch:

Dan - nothing breaks here mate. Everything is brilliant. Mind you, nothing I have leaves the safety of the carpet.

Fair comment Superbike Dan.
Like Alex says, it's a case of the right riders choosing the right parts for them/their riding style.
If stuff never breaks, it's too heavy.
