if you didn't run your seat post so high it wouldn't have done that. meaning don't bring the end of the seat post past your top tube or past the top tube seat tube weld line. it causes to much stress if you run it past the weld line and it will brake just like yours. I have done the same thing you've done it sucks.
Glory FR not DH, and its just the seat tube, not the rest of the frame which is beefier and more integral, plus on the glory's its hard to run the seat lower without getting grind on the seat from the tire
If the seat post was a few inches longer that wouldn't have happened, if it was mine I would tig the tube back together, get a longer post and beat the shit out of it some more.
Seatposts have a minimum instert line for a reason. I would definitely avoid showing Giant this picture, as it might void your warranty and change their mind about the new frame...
little late man. he already got a new one and actually is on the verge of breaking his second. Bottoming his bike too hard and the rear linkage hits the seattube putting a dent in it.
@ dhrunner - don't mind that Polish idiot. he can't even spell it correctly in his own language... @ Lestat - wracaj do obory swinie futrowac i nie przynos wstydu madrzejszej czesci Polakow...
haha not my bike bro. He broke and cracked the seattube again. Somehow the bike bottoms so hard sometimes that the rear triangle brace hits the seat tube. Unreal. We don't even know how it can. We took the spring off the shock and it has another 1.5cm before it would touch.:S Yet somehow it bottoms so hard that it dents the seat tube and is causing it to crack again
