Title: broke my LTF today
Post by: Glen on July 29, 2010, 08:56 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: kev-s on July 29, 2010, 11:50 PM: 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?
Title: Re: broke my LTF today
Post by: kev-s on July 30, 2010, 12:25 AM: 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
