Lookin good :daumenhoch:
Its not great that you broke your frame a few times, but they say that nothing is un-breakable and its more about what happens if it does break.
-
very nice indeed 8)
-
Nice. :daumenhoch:
-
cheers guys
alex you couldnt be more right, everything will break in the end, its how the companies deal with it that really matters :daumenhoch:
there's only a few companies i really like and trust warranty wise, obvioulsy s&m but also standard and t1
i only expect this one to last 12 months tbh, purely because i know i wont be able to stop doing rocket tyretaps, rocket manuals etc... and this is what is causing the brake mounts to snap off, all that force pushing the brake downwards, pulling the mounts away from the frame
would be the same on any frame with seatstay mounts, wouldnt be surprised if my mcneil gary young mk1 back up frame hasnt started to devlop the same fault.
next frame will have to have chainstay mounts, will it be another s&m? or maybe a standard or t1, who knows!!!!

decided not to run my 28in wide yellow xlt slams but to run my old 25in wide black meduim bar lt instead
-
Nice one. Matching forks and bars always look good.
I still don't like that seat tho :-X
-
very nice Kev :daumenhoch:
-
lol u really do hate that seat alex!!
its not brilliant, i used to run a s&m thin seat and it just got wrecked within days, chunks out the back, nicks on the top
hence why i went for the plastic p rail seat, gets used and abused and keeps on going!
-
that looks amazing, i love it :smitten:
-
Looks great 8)
-
Looking good.... :daumenhoch:
I'm with Alex on those seats though... :-\
-
Looks awesome fella, Im green with envy here
-
Really, really nice :daumenhoch:
-
Simply Stunning :smitten:
-
Sorry but them placky seats are fookin shit
Frames cool though :4_17_5:
-
I am curious as to why manuals and tyre taps would shear a brake mount though
-
what caused em to snap/crack imho is when i do rocket tyre tap barspins etc, all 14 stone of me is landing on the pegs from around 1ft out of the ramp onto the deck with the brake locked, pushing the brake arms forward away from the mounts, now i do that one trick 9-10 times a session, 2-3 sessions a week and over a 11 month period, it pulls the mount away
what also hasnt helped is running clear pads, they have no slip, they lock on solid, now running black blocks and it feels much better, not as snatchy (nice word!)
now if i was running chainstay mounts then i woudlnt have this problem as the arms would be pushing down onto the mounts not trying to pull away from them
i know the seat looks shite but padded ones last 5 mins with me
-
Did You go for a 20.5" t/t? I thought I remembered You posting something about getting a shorter frame.
-
yep dropped down from a 21in to a 20.5in and it feels good :daumenhoch:
-
now if i was running chainstay mounts then i woudlnt have this problem as the arms would be pushing down onto the mounts not trying to pull away from them
it puzzles me that you got yet another dirtbike with seat-stay brake mounts, if you like doing rocket taps and manuals why not just order one with chain-stay brake mounts?
and why would moeller keep sending frames that were destined to break?
will you continue doing rocket taps on this frame?
i genuinely am just curious :-\
-
if i wanted chainstay mounts then i would have to order a custom at full price which is around £500 inc shipping but not including import tax!!!
i emailed moeller explaining what had happenend, i was expecting him to say that as the frame was already a warranty replacement there was nothing he could do or he might have offered me a new frame on their crash replacement policy, which basicly means if u snap or badly damage a s&m frame which is out of warranty and you can prove you are the original purchaser then they will sell u a new frame at a discounted price to keep u on a s&m
chris came back to me and said that he had chatted to 4down and they had agreed as im a long term customer that they would give me a new frame free of charge, which i was/am very grateful for!!!!!!
i will carry on doing rocket tyre taps, things seem better now with a different brake and pads but only time will tell, if it goes again it goes again, then ill order a custom frame with chainstay mounts
